I have the my butterfly garden at home- Bushnell, IL - zone 5- central part of IL- Northwest section of property of our backyard- it's about 12/ 15 ft- I planted last fall---a buterfly bush-(which is about to bloom)-galardia-lavender-blue mist coreopis--nasturiums, veronica(purple)-purple cone flower---just purchased a butterfly house- has white birch bark inside-- I haven't seen a butterfly go in there as yet-- but have seen five different species of butterflies- I plan to take some pictures of my garden as soon as the butterfly bush blooms-- and will try to send some to you--

Also, as far as resources - our club members really like the magazine-Birds and Bloom- it's great --- there are lots of resources on the internet too. Some beautiful web sites for butterflies---
