Butterfly-Hummingbird Garden - Preliminary

Perusing the online catalog at Toadshade Wildflower Farm,

I came up with this set of plants for a hummingbird-butterfly garden.  A complete plan will include where I will plant these.  I already have a trumpet vine with quite a bit of vegetative growth, but with scarce flowers, so I suppose I should consider conditions in my yard to be a bit adverse.

B=Butterflies/Bees
C=Caterpillars (butterfly)
H=Hummingbirds
In theory, flowering from April to September is covered.
