The year I grew a particular zinnia called Forecast, a flat, Daisy style zinnia, was the prime year for butterflies for me. I noticed the other day that Burpees doesn't offer this zinnia anymore, nor can I find it in seed catalogs. Burpees does have something similar, the hey is to find one with a flat base where the pollen bearing whatever you call them thingies stick up above the petals. I had loads of painted ladies, here's some of those.
