I live in a small town that has a new Super WaMart going up as we speak...um..type. I have a mom and pop perennial nursery so I'm going to add a "Caterpillar Cafe", "Butterfly Buffet"and Hummingbird section(no cute name as of yet) section to hopefuly keep my business afloat once this blight opens it's doors.

I've been studying my caterpillar and butterfly field guides for what's in our area and their food sources. Except for a few,they mostly list what's in the wild and just say "flowers"(mud,dung,rotting fruit,etc) for the butterflies(of course milkweed being the only one Monarch cats uses) so I need to know what's your top ten annuals and top 10 perennials you'd look for in a nursery.
