bees and butterflies

Dear Jaime and all, I'd be interested to know what you plant in you 
perennial garden to attract butterflies.  I'm on a very steep slope and am 
planting for birds and butterflies. I've got a great group of birds coming 
but I just can't get enough butterflies.  I have Buddleia, Verbena, several 
Composits, Lantana, Centranthus, Statice, an orange Asclepiad and lots of 
Scabiosa. But I'd love to hear what else to use. I've just added Achillea and 
I'm trying to find a Queen Anne's Lace that will tolerate my drought. I'd 
appreciate any other advice

  My herb/butterfly garden is
so heavily laden with bees that my sister & others that are
allergic can't walk through it.  There are bees elsewhere, but
they are also on extremely desireable (to bees) plants like
monarda & buddleia.

If you'd care to post a list of what she has planted around the
pool, I'm sure the heavy bee-attractors can be readily
identified.

regards,
jaime, who is scooting guiltily back to work
