Hey guys, it's Bailey with Zia Nursery. I came down here to the, to the butterfly weed beds to see what was going on, and look, she's laying eggs on our milkweed. That is just awesome. She don't seem scared. Is that not awesome, guys? They're all around here. You never see monarchs anymore because of the population decline, but look at her. She looks like she's feeding. Isn't that awesome? This is why people needs to do wildflower gardens with milkweed and butterfly weed. We need to support these while they're still here because they're becoming rare. But if you haven't already, you should really invest in some butterfly weed. That is proof.
