Theodore Payne (1872-1963) devoted his life to the plants of California. At the age of 20, this British nurseryman moved to Southern California and fell in love with its rich flora, especially its wild flowers. He opened his first nursery and seed business in 1903 in downtown L.A. Over the course of his career, Mr. Payne brought more than 400 species of native plants into cultivation and developed dozens of private and public gardens in Southern California, including Descanso Gardens, Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, the original Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, and native gardens at Exposition Park in Los Angeles and Cal Tech in Pasadena. butterfly mix:a mixture of annual and perennials for both nectar and forage. a veritable feast to bring butterflies to your wild garden. overall height 24". includes: abronia villosa (desert sand verbena), achillea millefolium (common yarrow), baileya multiradiata (desert marigold), castilleja exserta (purple owl's clover), eriogonum fasciculatum var
