My mom hired this guy to do our landscaping. Im on vacation and when I get home I'm helping make a butterfly garden. We live on the east coast and have great climate.I talked to the gut and he said I can pick any flowers or butterflies and we try to attract the butterflies or buy those flowers. Any ideas?
There are a lot of plants you can use. You can also check with local nurseries to see if they have any handouts on plants specific for your area. There may be a few butterflies that only use native plants. Also, be sure that you are providing nectar and larval plants in your garden.
Here are some links with lots of plants for you to use:

I want to make a butterfly garden in the front yard of my house. There is a pretty big tree so there is plenty of shade. I do know that the yard was previously landscaped but the previous tenent let it get out of hand so I just want to do something that will look good Thanks for the answers!!
Adult butterflies are attracted to sweet, sharp and fragrant smells and the colors orange, yellow, pink, purple and red. All varieties love wild flowers & need both nectar plants and larval food plants to keep their life cycle going. Your tree will provide a nice wind protected area. If you add a birdbath, that would provide some water for them.

A variety of blossoms offer nectar to adult butterflies, while leafy food sources, such as parsley, nourish the larvae. "Butterfly bush" lures butterflies of all sorts.

You may want to select your plants by the type of butterflies you wish to attract. If your favorite butterfly is the Monarch, you must have Milkweed for these caterpillars to feed on. If you like Black Swallowtail, plant dill and/or parsley. Silvery Blue butterflies prefer Lupines .The Milkweed plants come in beautiful colors:

I am looking to landscape my front yard in the spring, I live in New Jersey so basically the North East....
I wanted to do a butterfly garden theme with various plants that would support the butterfly cycle, would this be a nice front yard display? I purchased a small condo and the front has a bay window so I figured do the butterfly bushes on each side of the bay window and various other lower plants right under the window, any suggestions, ideas?
Thanks!
I've listed the sources that we used in planting our butterfly garden. One of the best plants we found that attracted butterflies for us over the years is Verbinim or Lantana. Every year we doubled the butterflies from the previous year with these particular plants especially.
However, we always had a variety to attract all the species.
Hope our links help.

Want to give your landscape wings? Try a butterfly garden.
Butterfly gardens can be built from scratch or retrofitted into a more established landscape. But to be successful, the garden needs to possess two important elements: a pleasing palette of plants that work with the surrounding home and landscape; and the ability to—you guessed it—attracting butterflies.
This may seem like a fairly straightforward task if you assume that all butterflies are attracted to all flowers. But bear in mind there are thousands of species of butterflies, and each species tends to have a distinct group of plants that it prefers to live among for food and shelter.
What plants do butterflies eat?
The nectar sources for butterflies come from annuals, perennials, wildflowers, herbs, shrubs, and trees.

I put aside yesterday to work on Janet’s STS block and by hooters I finished it! I locked myself in my studio (which now looks like a class 4 hurricane just went through it), sent hubby off to watch the game, shut off the phone, turned on my Ghost Hunters online shows, and let my imagination and fingers go. I have two other projects that need to be done by the 30th of this month. One is a Hearts/Flower Shower thingy (or whatever the heck the gals call it) and the big project which is my landscape block for our Round Robin. And will plan on doing the same exact thing. We have been talking about Angelina Fibers on the list, and the dragonfly wings are made from this in white, with waste threads bonded into the middle. I used Austrian Crystals for his body and Kreinik metallic cord for his legs. On the two adjacent seams I did the feather stitch using the beautiful Wildflower threads in variegated shades and the other seam I did the Wagon Wheel in red in order to bring the red color...
