Two points of clarification:

1) This FAQ will only contain information on books in print. Perhaps
another FAQ could deal with the archive of materials that have been
published in the past, however this would be a very considerable task.

2) if you send material please send it in *exactly* the following format:

Title: Butterfly Gardening: Craeting Summer Magic in Your Garden
Author: Xerxes Society in association with the Smithsonian Institution
Date of Publication: 1990
Publisher: Sierra Club Books, San Francisco, California
ISBN Number: 0-87156-615-X
Specifics: 192 pages; many color photos
Region covered: North America
Description: Much useful information on the design & creation of 
butterfly 
	gardens. Good Appendicies on nectar & larval food plants for many North
	American butterflies.
Price: $18.95

Without quoting the descriptive notes I made etc. This will save me 
considerable editorial work. I would like to be able to simply cut and
paste submissions into the FAQ without doing a lot of editorial work
on each individual entry.

Cheers!

Yes, wildflowers and indigenous plants are a great way to attract
wildlife. I butterfly garden in Southern California and use natives
and have had much success. Two very good books on the subject are:

Butterfly Gardening - Creating Summer Magic in Your Garden
by Xerces Society and Smithsonian Institution
ISBN 0-87156-615-X


Butterflies - How to Identify and Attract Them to Your Garden
by Marcus Schneck
ISBN 0-87857-917-6


Good luck!

Bellevue Butterfly Gardens would probably know some other organizations and 
have some info, but I can't find the address. Sorry.
