information about butterflies and plants

Question

Seeking information about butterflies and plants they are attracted to. Our garden club maintains a butterfly garden for a local elementary. We are making labels for the various plants in the garden and want to identify which plants are nectar or hosts for different butterflies. I can’t find anything on the Shrimp Plant, Poppy, Russian Sage, Amaryllis, Paper White or Evening Primrose. Your help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!
