Okay ya'll...I need your help. Am on a quest to find a reasonably priced source that sells butterfly friendly seeds in a mixed bulk amount. So far the cheapest I've come across is Groco Seeds - that sells 5 pounds of wildflower mix (not necessarily all butterfly friendly) for $65 plus another $10 for shipping.

I've scoured the internet and most places sell bulk seeds for $20 or so dollars per pound up to $150 for a 5 pound mix!

Does anyone here know of a place that offers a comparable price? Am looking for at least 5 pounds worth...and hopefully all butterfly friendly seeds.

I really do want to toss gobs and gobs of seeds out into the back pastures at the ranch. We've suffered from a terrible drought so the plants should be native or at least drought tolerant.

However, we finally got the windmill up and running and it's on the way to filling up the pond again. If I can plow up an area near the pond am figuring my brother and I can come up with a method for getting them watered using a pump or something to draw water from the pond.

Other than that I don't know what to do...have already tried to trade for bulk amounts as well as mooch off old seeds for postage in the seed/plant exchange but have no takers.
