This book, Butterflies in Mind -- Perennials, that exceeds 500 pages on some readers, is a definitive guide to perennial nectar plants preferred by US butterflies. It empowers you to feed, attract, support (and help identify) nectar-feeding butterflies that reside in the US. Each plant entry includes basic information about its native status, its availability in the market-place, and regional information, that is followed by a list of butterflies known to feed on that plant. More than four years in the making, this book correlates more than 600 nectar feeding butterflies with over 3700 perennial plants that they prefer. In all, it references more than 200 genera. It contains original data, a generous number of plant images, and includes a fully cross-referenced index. It is a novel resource that you very well may reference for years to come. Future editions are in the works. Happy planting! Susan
