Here are a couple of links that you will find interesting and useful. One is a resource for finding native plants. Native plants conserve water and reduce the time required to maintain landscaping. Some native plants also attract birds and butterflies. This site http://www.wildflower.org/ is Ladybird Johnson's project.
The National Wildlife Federation sponsors another site http://www.nwf.org/backyard/ that can show you how to attract butterflies and birds to your yard. What a fun project to share with a child or grandchild!

Flowers that attract the butterflies will attract the hummingbirds and Baltimore Orioles as well. To attract the songbirds, a birdfeeder usually works best.
Great idea. I will add your idea to my April 16th blog. Thanks for stopping by.
