Prairie Yard & Garden: Monarchs and the Plants They Love

[@EarlyManStanding]

Best Monarch video I've seen. What a great teacher Prof. Margaret Kuchenreuther is. Interesting from beginning to the end. Thank you.

I just released 50 over the weekend. They have been active in my garden. I live in Central Florida.

Fantastic explanation on the Monarch butterfly. What an interesting story. Thank you so much for sharing.

as a kid I use to cut down milkweed by this creek in my childhood yard ....now I plant milkweed in my yard as an adult and plant seeds all over to right my wrong thank you for all this useful information

[@kitty4tify]

Lovely video. I know monarchs are very attracted to Butterfly bush which is invasive and not to be planted. It also deters them away from their host plant. My neighbour has a huge butterfly bush and much of her lawn has common milkweed. We haven’t seen any of the monarch eggs nor many adults.

This was so informative! I plan to plant zinnias and milkweed this spring to help the monarchs along on their journey now.

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge of monarchs! Including host plants, to assist them! 💕🇨🇦

I enjoyed your informative video and have just finished planning and developed my first Butterfly garden 😀 thanks from Sydney Australia

That was a wonderful video, thank you so much!!!

History of our knowledge of Monarch butterflies, their migrations, and their evolution from eggs through caterpillars to chrysalis and finally butterflies. Then - what to plant to feed our visiting butterflies and their progeny. Fascinating!

It was on January 2nd 1975 when we, my husband Ken Brugger and I, Catalina, called Fred Urquhart to tell him we found the first monarch butterfly overwintering colony. In February 1976 we took Fred Urquhart and his wife Norah to the second colony we discovered...Thank you so much for your work.

Pacific Grove, California is famous for its Monarchs.

I set aside a piece of my garden just for common milkweed. Probably the best smelling flower in the garden.....vanilla😍

[@itmaslanka]

They are here in Clearwater, Florida. I’ve had Round50 caterpillars from Jan to now late March. Can’t get enough milkweed!they eat it too fast!

[@sean2val]

lady I totally agree that is a perfect day

[@judytelles3518]

Superb,I didnt know ,I have bought a buddleia for this season,never liked this plant but now i do.

[@purtygud]

How much harm does the high altitude spraying have on the butterflies?

[@gabyroberts9601]

Thank you from victor ny

[@whatwhat8524]

Have tried many times but they eat the milkweed so fast it's impossible to support the caterpillars. Planted a bunch of swamp milkweed seeds by my pond, so I hope they grow and can grow before being eaten to the ground. I do have zinnias. They are so easy to grow.

[@elizabethvillalobos8927]

I have one but I cannot release because there is nothing blooming for now. How can I make sure it thrives

[@lepidlover0557]

Sugar water and fruit like oranges
