When I tell you guys I ran inside to show you all these butterflies I mean it!


You guys, I'm so happy! It's a full house out here 🥹 I'm so proud of myself. I have mental health issues and it has always been extremely hard to say "Bitch you doin a good job!"

NOT TODAY. I'M KILLING IT YOU GUYS.

I did it. I really did it ☺️

I took a second video where you can see the white mistflower! I was so excited I couldn't even type 😂

    That’s amazing. I wish mistflower were native to my state! That’s such an oasis of life in a sea of lawn. Maybe you’ll inspire some of your neighbors!

    I feel the same way as you, I may have made mistakes but looking at all the happy flowers and bugs brightens up my day. Your garden looks beautiful, and the butterflies and bees agree!

    Thanks for sharing your joy. It’s beautiful and I appreciate this

    So what I’m hearing is just let the Mistflower take over my yard?

  18. Nadiam57

    HEB has them for $6 and a bunch more Texas natives!

  22. AlmostSentientSarah

    They’re on a long journey and were grateful to find you open, like when you come across a Wawa with clean bathrooms *and* slushies to stop the kids from fighting.

    Damn right, you did it.

  24. keepoffthedunes_

    Yeah this rocks. Moments like these make it all worth it. and it’s all because of YOU! Great job ☺️

    I see you are in Texas- me too! My mistflower is covered in butterflies right now. All you northern folks, sleep easy, the monarchs are heading south!

  26. feargluten

    I. Am. Fucking. Jealous. Great work, appreciate the video and inspiration 🙂

  27. What_Do_I_Know01

    I said it in another post I think yesterday:

    There’s no such thing as too much blue mistflower.

    I’ve been seeing bumblebees napping on them

  28. WildlifeValued

    Mistflower is the answer! On the top of my list for spring planting.
    Thanks for this post you made my day!

  29. Beestungtoday

    Lovely! Amazing! Good job!!! Mist flower came to my garden as volunteers and wow have they spread. They are taking over my blueberries but I cannot bear to pull any out.

  30. chelseagrows

    Ngl, I would gasp and start crying if I saw this

  31. redheadedfamous

    Proud of you, proud of *us!* 🫶🏼

  32. peteandpenny

    YAY! We also have blue and white mistflower. Although our larger butterflies weren’t that interested, I was amazed at the quantity and diversity of smaller butterflies and bees that visited them. I can’t wait to see what happens with them next year. 🦋 🐝

  33. LetterheadHour

    Those are monarchs? I have a very large blue mistflower that made itself at home in my mobile Alabama yard and no one seems to like it. I’m so jealous 🙂

  34. zuzi325

    Nice! Im sure all those migrating monarchs really appreciate your hard work.

  35. not-a-dislike-button

    Damn I knew I should have done mistflower

    Great job this is a beautiful thing you have done

  36. fitafter40

    WOO HOO for you!! I saw your white mistflower and looked to see if it was native to my area and it is but I have never seen it. We have tons of the blue and I love it. I saw more butterflies this year than the last 5 combined.

  37. lekosis

    Hell yeah hell yeah mistflower fall bloom let’s GOOOOOO

  39. yogurtchild55

    This is so beautiful and now I have a new plant/pack of seeds to purchase! I know its a perennial but does it bloom in the first year like Rudbeckia or does it need a year to establish?

    Again, amazing job!!! 👏

  40. GrittyLordOfChaos

    This is awesome. You did a beautiful job.

    I’m stoked to find out that even though I’m not in the same zone, I just discovered mistflower is native to my area as well. Can’t wait to plant some. 🦋

  41. EntertainerNo1440

    Let me add to the chorus: you are doing a GREAT job!! Congratulations and thank you for supporting this beautiful ecosystem we call home. ❤️

  42. machineristic

    That’s amazing! All I get is one Monarch that doesn’t let anybody else near

  43. SmoothCriminal0678

    Sorry if I missed it, but what plant is this ??

    Butterflies and birds collide at hot, ungodly hours
