Thanks for every one's advice and comments! 
I'm going to order "all of the above" mentioned types that can be grown in my area. Really appreciate all the help with this. *Usually the Monarch butterflies migrate through here around September. The last few days I have seen a few already. They were HUGE !, must be at least a couple years old already. About a 6" wing span, when gliding ! And no, I didn't get the camera......I just stood there in 'awe'.......watching them flutter and glide.....sorry!
