In this short video, Tammy Sons presents a close‑up view of blooming butterfly milkweed (also called butterfly weed) at TN Nursery. She highlights the abundance of pollinators visiting the plants—especially monarch butterflies, which she notes are in decline and rely exclusively on milkweed as their host plant for egg‑laying. Tammy also points out honeybees, other butterflies, and various insects fluttering around the flowers. The segment serves both as an educational reminder of the monarch‑milkweed relationship and as a promotional pitch for TN Nursery’s native pollinator plant collection, encouraging viewers to purchase quality native plants from tnursery.net.
