I don't know all that much about plants, but I'm gonna try to get my dad to turn their front field into butterfly wildflower field. I might make it a father's day/birthday present. Buy him the seeds and help him get them in. Despite his hard exterior, he really loves butterflies.
Yes I saw one online. They would make for a great pastoral scene with a barn in the background ..maybe a little mist on the foothills.

I think that is a wonderful gift to give! I think it is thoughtful. I would love a flower growers kit myself so I think so.
