Yes, the Parsonias are lovely plants and good nectar plants for our Admirals. Here is a pic from Oratia Native Plant Nursery of a Yellow Admiral nectaring on it http://www.oratianatives.co.nz/catalogue_extras.php?photo_id=1048
Sorry Charlie, I don't have any seed, but Oratia Native Plant Nursery sells the plants and may well have the seed if you contact them through their website http://www.oratianatives.co.nz
Jacqui, the Paperkite is one of my alltime favourites! It's the one on my arm in the photo of me as a trustee.
Wow, I didn't realise that - and neither did I realise that it's a great source of nectar. Thanks for finding that photo at Oratia...
Here's the other photo taken in Florida of Kate and a Paper White.
