Cyn's right - they're extremely cool. The flowers, yeah - nicotiana is a good one, but lots of flowers will be good - they tend to prefer trumpet-like or tubular flowers, but any thing you see butterflies going after will probably work for hawkmoths. They're very uncommon, though - like many things I used to see in my youth, I hardly ever see any any more.

Generally, the kinds that produce nectar and pollen.
However, there are too many flowers under that category, to even begin to list.......
