Looking forward to helping monarch butterflies this summer! I’ve been growing lots of butterfly weed and wild milkweed from seed this spring in my greenhouse. I enjoy the videos and updates on your channel. I’m in southeast Indiana and love to see what’s happening in other areas. Thanks❤

Michele, I love to hear your commitment to butterflies. Keep up the good work. Also, thanks for watching the videos. I appreciate your support!

A sad but not unexpected update. Thank you for your work! The butterflyweed is emerging in my yard, and I have more a. exaltata starting from seed.

Thanks Mia. I love Butterflyweed! It starts a bit later in MN, so hope to see mine pop through in a few weeks.

I've found and protected 3 milkweed plants on my property, and I'm attempting to grow more from seed. I hope they come to my garden

They are amazing at finding milkweed. Plant and they will come! Good luck!

Congratulations on your caterpillars. I hope they survive to become butterflies and lay lots of eggs. Thank you for planting the milkweed!

Don't forget Monsanto and Du Pont killed millions of butterflies not just monarchs.

At that rate of decrease in the fir trees from 2022-2023, the trees will be gone in 2 - 3 years!!! 😢😢😢😢

It is so sad the monarchs are losing their winter grounds in Mexico.
