Love the butterflies - what are your plant selections?

Thank you memays. Many species of butterflies seem to love my Mexican Bauhinia (the one in the photos with the white flowers). Other favorites are Pride of Barbados, Tall Verbena, Tropical Milkweed, Gregg's Mistflower and a Texas native called Sand Palfoxia.
