I’m happy to report that those of us in the North East of the United States are finally able to plant in the garden. It won’t be long before we get to see some of these beautiful butterflies in the yard. My milkweed did its job with spreading and that makes me happy. I’m concentrating on planting a bit more host plants along with flowers for nectar. Your garden is definitely an inspiration for us. Happy Gardening everyone.

[@Susanthebutterflygardener]

I am so glad your season has arrived. Enjoy every moment and let me know if you find any new flowers that the butterflies prefer. Happy Gardening to you too!! 💛🩵💛🩵💛🩵💛🩵

[@tanis1111]

Just wonderful Susan thank you so much. So informative. WOW! Some of those have quite the names...lol there is a lot to learn that's for sure. Have a great night.🦋🦋🦋

[@Susanthebutterflygardener]

Thank you!!!!! There is a huge learning curve in the world of butterfly gardening, I am still learning so much. That’s what makes it so enjoyable. I love the learning process. 💛🩵💛🩵💛🩵💛🩵

[@katiecannon8186]

Great series.

Thank you so much 💗🐛💕🦋💗🐛💕🦋💗🐛💕🦋💗🐛💕🦋

For another wonderful garden tour today oh my gosh, I just loved your video and thanks for sharing all the beautiful butterflies

[@Susanthebutterflygardener]

Thank you so much!!! I am so glad you enjoyed it. 💛🩵💛🩵💛🩵

[@mariwhom3749]

Well done. Your video art is blossoming beautifully, Susan, just like your gorgeous garden. You have quite the gift. Thanks for sharing...

[@Susanthebutterflygardener]

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this comment. I have been really trying to improve a little with each video I make. I am so glad you noticed. Thank you so much. 💛🩵💛🩵💛🩵💛🩵

[@cheridefries4980]

Such an awesome video, Susan! 🦋🦋 I love how you put all this information together…thank you so much! And pulling it together at the end with pictures is so helpful. So enjoyable and a great one to refer back to. 🐛🦋🌳🥰

[@Susanthebutterflygardener]

Yay, I am so glad you liked it. I really wanted it to be sort of a reference piece. Thank you so much 💛🩵💛🩵💛🩵💛🩵💛🩵

[@cindyenglish3130]

I loved the way you went back over everything at the end. My Giant Swallowtails have been on my rue as much as my wild lime

[@Susanthebutterflygardener]

Oh good, I’m glad you like how I did that. It was kind of confusing to figure out how to put it all together because of the overlap of different species using the same host plants. I just wanted to make it as easy as possible to get good and useful information out of it. 🩵💛🩵💛🩵💛🩵💛

[@TheAstellarone]

I just ordered a spice bush, black cherry, and paw paw for my butterfly garden! Love your videos, Susan!

[@Susanthebutterflygardener]

Yay!!! I hope you get lots of caterpillars and butterflies. 💛🩵💛🩵💛🩵

[@thealternative9580]

Nice host plants. Maybe you need more bright flowers on the perimeter of your property to help draw them in.

[@Susanthebutterflygardener]

😂😂😂 Just started more Mexican Sunflower seeds. 😉😉😉💛🩵💛🩵💛

[@thealternative9580]

@@Susanthebutterflygardener oh yeah they see it from far once it gets tall. I started growing it last year because of you! I just started some seeds to. Mexican torch and another variety that only gets 2-3 ft tall. I love how this hobby made me learn about flowers and landscaping and so much more, I’m a guy I knew nothing about flowers really. I was learning edible landscaping so my yard work had a return... planted a passiflora incarnata for the fruit. And years later here I am. Lol.

[@Susanthebutterflygardener]

🩵💛🩵💛 Love it 💛🩵💛🩵

[@Itsavabanks]

Hello, guess what? I found 2 red pentas plants! I could not get them in my cart 🛒 fast enough. I can not wait until the butterflies 🦋 see it. 😊

[@Susanthebutterflygardener]

Oh….My….Gosh….that is fabulous!!!!!! I am so happy for you! You have to post updates about the butterflies’ reactions. 🩵💛🩵💛🩵💛

[@sheliaheverin8822]

I have my dill, parsley, carrots, bronze fennel, rue and golden alexander planted and waiting for my EBS to show up. I have my over-wintered chrysalis yet to eclose yet.

[@Susanthebutterflygardener]

So close…that is fantastic. You will probably surpass me. I still only have 4 EBS caterpillars. But, I just had a Giant Swsllowtail leave me more eggs!! 💛🩵💛🩵

[@jh7910]

Great video. I learned some new host plants! I am curious being in Florida. You didn't say anything about citrus trees being host to Gaint Swallowtails

[@Susanthebutterflygardener]

They are, I just don’t have them in my garden. I was just showing what I have. I am a licensed nursery, and if I have citrus in my garden that brings up a whole lot of additional issues due to the huge citrus industry here. So, I just don’t have any citrus. I didn’t even think of mentioning that. I am glad you posted this. 🩵💛🩵💛🩵💛

[@chalkitup4827]

Love this video Susan. I got my very first Eastern Black Swallowtail eggs on my fennel yesterday! I brought five into the enclosure. Those eggs were harder to see on the fennel, lol. Are their life cycles similar to monarchs in terms of time during each stage?

[@Susanthebutterflygardener]

Yes, but the caterpillars look completely different at each instar! They are so cool to watch. 🩵💛🩵💛

[@chalkitup4827]

Also, I remember reading somewhere that the pawpaw flowers smell bad -like rotting meat. Is that true???

[@Susanthebutterflygardener]

Yes!! True! Mine haven’t bloomed yet😂😂😂. And I have a horrible sense of smell. 😂😂😂

[@thealternative9580]

Yes but they aren’t very fragrant you gotta sniff the flower.

[@thealternative9580]

I’m surprised you don’t have a pussy willow. Just find one growing and take a few cuttings it roots in a couple weeks. Just stick in the shade till then.

[@Susanthebutterflygardener]

I don’t think they grow here. I have never seen one here. I’ll have to look them up to see. I grew up in Pittsburgh and we had one in our yard, so I know what they look like. 🩵💛🩵💛🩵💛🩵💛

[@thealternative9580]

@@Susanthebutterflygardener Any willow will do really. They grow so easy from cuttings it’s easy to grow a bunch in old nursery pots.
