Where is Flamingo Gardens?
Thank you so much for the video. !!!! Just what a was asking for. !!!! God bless you guys. !!!!!
Fantastic channel. I found you Friday and I'm an intermediate-level gardener and I'm still getting a lot out of this channel. Please consider investing in the mics that clip on your clothes. The audio will be a lot crisper and the YouTube algorithm will start to favor you more and put you in the"recommend" for more viewers.
FYI don't buy tropical milkweed it is not native and does not go dormant and prevents migration

The Atala is clearly the most beautiful species in both larval and adult form.
They seem to prefer a bit of salt in the air and will nectar on Saw Palmetto and Bidens pilosa
I have used your videos as a guide for South Florida. I am a fish keeping enthusiast and am in the process of building (planning) a large pond on the South side of my home.
I recently left the Miami Area. I'm now in rural Lee County outside of Fort Myers. I have a whole host of critters like frogs, birds and butterflies. I have a clean palette to start with (new Home) so I have been learning and building my landscape with native plants.
The only native plant I have found for my pond so far is the Fire Flag (Thalia geniculata) a marginal plant which native to north Florida. Can you suggest other aquatic and bog plants to complement the environment?
A trip to Disney world doesn't compare to the magical feeling you get when you raise up a caterpillar and then release it as a butterfly lol. Nothing Beats that experience!! I'm hooked lol I'll be raising butterflies for the rest of my life lol! GOD bless yall!
Does swan shrub or tree ok for butterfly have problem with aphids
