Wish I could tell you the names of the different kinds, but I hardly know them in German.

Fuchs, Pfauenauge and Zitronenfalter- these are the names in German But now it would need more internet research to translate them
The plant is a Buddleia- butterflies LOVE it.
The Fuchs is Aglais urticae. The Pfauenauge is Inachis io. And the Zitronenfalter is Gonepteryx rhamni. (Back from research)

I did some reseach meanwhile, Barbara...

Fuchs = Tortoiseshell (Nymphalis polychloros)
Pfauenauge = Peacock (Inachis io)
Kohlweißling = Large White (Pieris brassicae)
Zitronenfalter = Brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni)
Distelfalter = Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui)

These are the ones I know for sure. But I have no idea about the rest...
