[@greenrockgarden2851]

Hilarious! Thank you for the tour! Omg! That Common Banded Pacock! Just beautiful!

[@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video 😀🪴

[@laydeebug100]

😂the Blue Morph, and your reaction I laughed so hard. I truly enjoyed this video. I was inspired to section off a space in my garden for the butterflies, because of the array of butterflies and moths that frequent my garden. Thank you for sharing your video with us. 🐞

[@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN]

Thank you so much!! It was such a surprise when the butterfly landed on me! hahaaha😀🪴

[@FLOridaM.o.m]

I love how the butterfly went for a ride and how appreciative he seems for all the natural beauty on the tour! Thank you for sharing! Just want I needed to inspire me to get started on the butterfly garden I’ve been meaning to plant!

[@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN]

You are most welcome! Also, please check back/subscribe to our channel for the follow up (Part 2) of the butterfly planting video, where I walk you through how I design, purchase and install the plants at my nephew/nieces home. 😃🌱🌸🦋 I'm completing the editing process now...it's taking forever, but it will be complete in a week, and I think it will be super helpful when done.

It’s clear to me that the essential butterfly attracting element is you, Michael! Beautiful video... kudos to the videographer. I love the stately pace and the whimsy of Michael’s voice. By the way, the butterfly texted me. He was so grateful for the nice salty drink you provided. Left a phone number if you’d like to stay in contact. Hopes you enjoyed it as much as he did.

[@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN]

Haahahaha , you are too much :)

[@michaeljonesdougherty.209]

Wow very nice video thankyou for shareing. I love that you know all the names of the butterfly, my husband and I have been working on adding butterfly, Bees & diffrenr types of birds & all the favorite plants & things to come to our yard... 🐝🦋🕷🐞🐦.

[@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN]

Thanks ! And I hope your butterfly garden flourishes! It's just so cool to see the butterflies and bees dance around the plants. It's Zen.

I am just learning about Native Planting to attract and support butterflies and birds. Which of these plants are native to Florida?

[@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN]

Hi there! None of the plants in this video are Florida natives. But several great Florida natives you can consider are: Pineland Lantana (Lantana depressa var. depressa ), Corky stem Passion vine, Coontie, Passion flower (Passiflora incarnata) Orange Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa) lemon tree, simpsons stopper, firebush, and locust berry.

@@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN Thank you. I lived in Miami-Dade where some well placed palms and some drought tolerant bushes made a (homeowner/ contractor) landscape. I have since moved to rural Lee County outside of Fort Myers and it is a totally different game.

[@thealternative9580]

@@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN There are a couple channels you would probably really like. The first one is a lady who butterfly gardens in Florida and the second is a lady who native gardens in Florida. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3zWn6ajhqh6idk&ab_channel=ButterflyGardeningInspirations kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5Spaop9bLKAr7c&ab_channel=WildFloridian These two videos are University of Florida presentations on butterfly gardening and are packed with information specific to Florida. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGWYhIqJeJKfnJo&ab_channel=UFIFASExtensionOrangeCounty kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpDTXmCllMaHmrs&ab_channel=UFIFASExtensionOrangeCounty I hope that assists you with your butterfly needs.

[@thealternative9580]

Naturalized looking landscapes seem to be surging in popularity. Anything to move beyond the resource suck that is the modern American suburban landscape.

[@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN]

Nature is the best teacher.😀 🪴

[@elisaumoso8180]

[@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN]

Hi, here is the address: Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, 10901 Old Cutler Rd, Coral Gables, FL 33156 😀🪴

[@joannadorothy]

I thought to shr this video with others but this blue mask on your face spoil everything for me.

[@LETSGROWGARDENDESIGN]

Ohh well... That's unfortunate that you feel that way. Note- this video was produced last year right in the middle of the Pandemic. I also got COVID in early 2020 and was extremely sick from it. That virus is no joke. So I refuse to make any apologies for wearing a mask. It was the responsible thing to do for our fellow citizens. So yeah, if you feel that way.... don't share, I don't care. 😷🪴
