I believe this is a Meadow Fritillary.

This is a Spicebush Swallowtail.

This grew well, it has attracted a lot of butterflies, such as painted lady, fritillary, monarchs, spicebush swallowtail, red spotted purple and various small whites and yellows. The bees love it too. It is very fragrant, unlike most butterfly bushes. Very pretty blooms, the only drawback to the blooms is they bloom from the bottom up and the bottom turns brown before the top opens. I think this is the only butterfly bush worth having.
