    Hope ye might be able to help me out.
    I am planning on planting a memorial garden for my son and want to fill it with plants and flowers that will attract as may butterflies as possible. I already have a Magnolia tree to plant in it and would like to try and keep some colour in it year round. I am not really restricted in the size of the garden so I should be able to include plenty of plants.:)

    That's a wonderful idea, and something that will give so much pleasure. There's a good list of plants here http://www.englishplants.co.uk/bflies.html

    Theres actually a shrub called the butterfly bush. Pretty and it does attract loads of butterflies. I've seen it in all the garden centres in my area so I presume its an easy one to pick up.
