Awww, Bethany, yes! God did send that zebra longwing!!! He knew that it would be a highlight for me!!! I’m so thankful that we share that knowledge that God is with us and for us wherever we are!!!!! I love you!!!!!!
Ooooooh the zebra longwing!!! So magical! She sat still for you so perfectly! I’ve seen one in my yard once. Such a thrill. The fam had to hear about it for at least half a day! lol. I had no idea that passionvine was their host plant! It was so helpful to see how/how much you mist your cuttings! 👀 Your garden is so so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us!💕
LOL about the family having to hear about the zebra longwing for half a day!!! It really WAS a thrill! Like my brain flooded with all the good chemicals. Maybe if people knew how good butterflies would make them feel, then they would garden more for them! Haha! - I hope that my cuttings will live now that I have had the temerity to show how to do it like it’s fail proof. LOL! But I have grown them like that for years. We’ll see! - I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!!!
Very special having the zebra longwing visiting your garden 👏👏 This morning there was a perfect monarch in the garden 👏👏 Enjoying the cool weather and doing much the same as you with propagation 😊 Have a great week 🍁🦋🌻
Oh, isn’t it such a treat to still have butterflies around?!? They make me so happy! I wish I could bring as much joy wherever I go as butterflies do! LOL!
I've never had a zebra longwing in my butterfly garden. Its beautiful! The Lord showed you favor. My flowers have died back. In the last week we have had 4 mornings of freezing temperatures (low 20s) in South Carolina. Your garden continues to look great!
Oh, Libby! It’s always sad when things get taken down by a freeze, even when you know (if they are perennials) they will grow back next spring! I just checked to see if zebra longwings go as far as South Caroline, and they don’t. I hope you will get to see some at a butterfly conservatory! Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!!
Yay, I’m so glad to have you as a new friend!!! Yes, I’m planning on growing a lot of things myself this year for my garden from seed. It’s going to be an adventure! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
:Long wings are really striking! I do get lots of those in the early summer but haven't seen any lately. Lucky you! I did find a calico cat in my garden but since she is calico, that means I can expect to find her kittens soon., also. It is suppose to be 28F here Tuesday night and it did freeze this morning but wasn't a hard freeze - just 30F. Still very cold and not cormfortable for a small kitten. If I can tame her up, I hope to get her in a live trap and get her fixed. Whoever her owner is (people dump cats in our neighborhood all the time) will just have to be without their kitten. She has been behind our pump house for weeks and lives off the land except I finally broke down and gave her a plate of turkey yesterday. She didn't tun when I called her but did leave when I walked toward her. I left a plate of turkey and warm gravy and it was all gone soon. Today I put out a plate of turkey broth and will soon go check on that. I DO NOT want to attract cats but she is so cute and it's so cold outside. Just checked and I had about 50 ants and a bee stuck in it. No kitten. But it looks like it had some of the broth was gone. Your garden is still beautiful and providing the insects with nutrition and you with beauty - gardens sure are giving/sharing plants. Lesson to all of us!.
Oh, Mary! How cool about the calico kitten!!! Did it come back? Did you keep it? My friend has a stray calico and she is so beautiful and is such a fancy, dainty girl!
@@gulfcoastbutterflygardening She did return and comes as soon as I walk outside. Yesterday was the first day I got to pet her - filled with ticks. Today, she let me really pet her but didn't eat the chicken wings I boiled out! Picky, picky she wants her turkey breast w/gravy. I started her on kibble and she gobbled it down but now, she wants her breast meat. I've created a monster that hisses at me when I get close to her - husssss. I pretend she is trying to say hiiiiii. If I squat down, she will come and walk around me and rub against me. Still didn't eat her warm breakfast but I'm not giving in - the turkey is all gone. Once I can handle her, I'll put tick meds on her then get her to a place that will find a home for her. Don't have the heart to go look at that box of baby plants I just bought as I forgot to cover them last night!
Oh, no! That’s weird that they haven’t been showing up! Thank you so much for watching!!! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!
God sent that zebra longwing to brighten your day! Loved seeing what your garden looks like right now. Miss you!🦋
