Gotcha! I grow quite a few native plants myself, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Unintentionally, a lot of larval host plants are natives, so I grow them for that reason. But, intentionally, I like the natives because they are adapted to my environment and consequently, I choose to grow many of them. I stray towards non-natives when it comes to annual nectar plants, like Zinnias, Cosmos, Mexican Sunflower, Moonflower for my moths, Ipomeae quamoclit (Cypress Vine), Tropical Milkweed, non-native Cleomes, and more I'm sure. I continue to add more natives each year, though. I'm not strict about what county in Oklahoma they're from, though, just so they are native to my state. I don't know that we even have a source that reflects the counties in which the natives here are found. Think I've got your instructions down pat now, so thanks again for your help. Will let you know how it works out for me. Susan

Yes, Christie, the picture shows the small end of my L-shaped meadow, which is actually the open area over the field lines for our septic system. I took the picture zoomed in, through the window and the screen, so it's not very good, but I'm always excited to see wildlife here. I've been told that at one time, turkeys had become scarce, but strict hunting laws have helped them to rebound nicely. I've never eaten wild turkey myself, but the locals say it's the most delicious thing you've ever eaten. I just like to watch THEM eat! :) Living in the woods is always interesting! I ordered a lot of native seeds from a place called Sparkleberry Springs in Georgia this afternoon - they're the only place I've ever seen that carries Agalinis fasciculata, the main host for buckeyes here - I ordered 3 packs of that one. I also ordered seeds for Croton capitatus (local goatweed leafwing host), cardinal flower, butterfly pea, partridge pea, swamp sunflower, the southeastern native crownbeard, loblolly bay (a hard-to-grow tree), and a few others. Their prices are good, only $2.50 for these hard to find seeds. Even though I think of bordered patches as Texas/Oklahoma butterflies, you might get them up your way, Christie, since Missouri is next to Oklahoma. Sherry

The numbered plants are those that somebody on the Butterfly Gardening forum has used to SUCCESSFULLY rear caterpillars to adulthood or has actually observed the caterpillar eating. If there is no numbered plant, then nobody on our forum can vouch for any specific plant. If a butterfly in the list below has no numbered plant, research the plant family shown for hostplant candidates. Several forum members report that using nursery or home-improvement store plants can be poisonous to caterpillars and adult butterflies due to pesticides or other chemicals. You have three main options: 1--raise the plant from seed (best). 2--prune the plant, do not put it in a prominent location, and wait for some new growth before presenting the plant to butterflies (good). 3--buy nursery/store plants, wash them thoroughly (fair; it is hard to get all the chemical off of the plant).
