Just ran across this study this morning. It does not include the heirloom
zinnias, which I have also seen a lot of nectaring on, but it's interesting
how popular 'Lilliput' was with butterflies compared to the other zinnia
cultivars. If this file doesn't open automatically, just copy and paste it
into your search line. It is free.
