My kids are in LOVE with the swallowtail butterfly caterpillars we found on my dill. 3 are already in chrysalis.

I'm interested in planting more butterfly-friendly plants to see if we can encourage more caterpillars next year (particularly monarchs).

The only seeds I have to trade this year are Chinese Wisteria, which I don't know that many will want--it is an invasive plant and needs a LOT of maintenance. I did have Black Eyed Susan and some other natives, but my 3 year olds got the envelopes and opened them all! Frowner

I'm willing to swap something else... perhaps a back issue of Herb magazine or Mother Earth News?? I'd be willing to send a couple or postage stamps or something else of value (unless that's not allowed???? I don't know that rules.)

Urb, do you only want flowers? You have offers for butterfly weed so I'll skip it. But I have parsley (which they love) and other butterfly-attractor herbs.
