We Have SO MANY Monarch Butterflies! What do We do with Them?

[@Galsmith55]

Heidi this video on butterflies was so interesting. I love to learn new things and you sure taught me a lot. I never knew a male from a female butterfly and I never saw a butterfly lay an egg. Thank you so much Heidi. I am 82 years old and proof that you are never too old to learn. Those butterflies are lucky to have known you.

[@gardencrossings]

We can always learn and teach at any age. Thanks for watching.

THANK YOU for the shout out. I really Appreciate it!!!!!!

[@majesticgardener5862]

Thank you for this wonderful video and for your efforts to educate the public on the Monarch lifecycle. Their numbers have dramatically declined over the last several decades.This winter had the second lowest numbers overwintering in Mexico since they have been recorded. Planting host plants and nectar plants is more important now than ever. I have watched your other videos and know that you don’t do this, but for those who might be unaware, it’s also critical that pesticides/insecticides should never be used. Thank you for raising awareness ❤

[@judymckerrow6720]

I think I saw one of your monarch’s at my house the other day. I think you have recently done a release? My husband commented the other day that he hasn’t seen any monarch’s around and the next day I saw one. I leave all of the native milkweed that pops up in various places in my garden, I don’t care if it doesn’t belong there and looks out of place. It actually has a fragrant flower. 🌺💚🙃 I guess I should have listened awhile longer before commenting.🤭🌺💚🙃

[@gardencrossings]

We have released around 1000 so far this year.

[@mamamia1138]

Heidi,This is fantastic!

[@gardencrossings]

My Pleasure!🦋

[@franciscarodriguez3942]

Thank you ,It’s beautiful what you doing ❤

[@gardencrossings]

It is fun as well.

[@Peoniesandpinks]

This is a dream come true

[@gardencrossings]

It is so fun to do

[@b.m.-ez1xw]

Kalemljenje je brža metoda za dobijanje plodova breskve, s većom sigurnošću u pogledu kvaliteta i karakteristika plodova. Uzgoj iz sjemena može biti zanimljiv eksperiment, ali traje duže i rezultati su nepredvidiviji. Ako ti je cilj brzo dobiti kvalitetne plodove, preporučuje se kalemljenje.

[@PrettyLittleGarden2930]

Just incredible! It was nice to learn about the Monarchs. Have a great day! 😊

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you for following along

[@dianehatley691]

Thanks for this video, I learned so much from this. I have been planting host plants for monarchs hoping to see some soon!

[@gardencrossings]

There is still time for them to arrive.

[@TJacobs1148]

Love all the information and close up details you gave about the Monarch's eggs and gender id. I was wondering what variety of allium that was at 12:04 with all the butterflies on it. 🦋

[@gardencrossings]

That is Millenium

[@AClark-bq6oc]

This is always amazing to watch. I planted milkweed for the first time this season. How soon do they find it? It just started blooming. I am in ATL, zone 8a. Thanks Hedi!

[@gardencrossings]

I would think you should see some if they are in your area.

[@GraceinGardening01]

@@gardencrossings I will let you know!

[@thejillykilly]

Will the milkweed recoup from the caterpillar eating it or is it something you keep buying new of?

[@gardencrossings]

Yes. We removed the pots they striped and grew them in another greenhouse. They filled out after 2-3 weeks.

[@anthonyfrisk449]

Heidi, have you ever grown Meadow Blazingstar(Liatris ligulistylis)? It’s an absolute Monarch Magnet in my garden.

[@gardencrossings]

I have not. I will have to look into it
