Today 684 Texas native plants went to their forever home. Shout out to Alamo Heights @friendsofstrings for getting our Monarch Champion Habitat Kits out into the community for the third year. And to all the volunteers who helped today, THANK YOU, without you this wouldn’t have been so successful.

A HUGE shout out to @ywlaprimary and educator Iliana Trobaugh​, for her dedication to Monarchs and pollinators! This spring she (along with her team), will install their very own Monarch Heroes habitat on their campus. I’m so excited to help them along in this journey.

Our first Viceroy. Eggs laid on and raised on Black Willow. They also use Cottonwood and Aspen trees as host plants. Looking very similar to monarchs, they developed this color pattern to protect themselves from prey. #TheNectarBar #PlantNative #NativeHostPlants #HostPlantsForButterflies #PeaceLoveAndButterflies #Butterflies #NativePlants #Nature #TheNecatarBar #HealthyEcosystem #NativesForWildlife #NativesAreImportant #PocketPrairie #NativePocketPrairie #NativeGrasslands #EcoregionsMatter #NativePlantHike #LearningNatives #LearningNativePlants #WaterSaver #WatershedWiseSA https://www.instagram.com/p/CT_K2pkMrxs/?utm_medium=tumblr

Viceroy caterpillar has officially pupated. The host plant is Black Willow trees. Which are also host plant to Mourning Cloak, Red-spotted Purple, and Tiger Swallowtail. So four different butterflies use it. Black Willow (Salix nigra) is a wonderful Texas native tree. #TheNectarBar #PlantNative #NativeHostPlants #HostPlantsForButterflies #PeaceLoveAndButterflies #Butterflies #NativePlants #Nature #TheNecatarBar #HealthyEcosystem #NativesForWildlife #NativesAreImportant #PocketPrairie #NativePocketPrairie #NativeGrasslands #EcoregionsMatter #NativePlantHike #LearningNatives #LearningNativePlants #WaterSaver #WatershedWiseSA https://www.instagram.com/p/CTkYxqds_Ky/?utm_medium=tumblr

My first Viceroy! My excitement in this experience made me forget to say the host plant. She is laying eggs on a Black Willow. I got this tree in the Spring, knowing that I would plant it this Fall. Proof yet again, of plant it and they will come. Salix nigra (Black Willow), Larval Host: Mourning Cloak, Viceroy, Red-spotted Purple, Viceroy and Tiger Swallowtail. #TheNectarBar #PlantNative #NativeHostPlants #HostPlantsForButterflies #PeaceLoveAndButterflies #Butterflies #NativePlants #Nature #TheNecatarBar #HealthyEcosystem #NativesForWildlife #NativesAreImportant #PocketPrairie #NativePocketPrairie #NativeGrasslands #EcoregionsMatter #NativePlantHike #LearningNatives #LearningNativePlants #WaterSaver #WatershedWiseSA https://www.instagram.com/p/CS9Xpe9FAu_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Goatweed leafwings have emerged and been released. These are just stunning! Their beauty completely captivates you. Want to attract these to your habitat? Their host plants are croton. The one in my habitat is woolly croton. #TheNectarBar #PlantNative #NativeHostPlants #HostPlantsForButterflies #PeaceLoveAndButterflies #Butterflies #NativePlants #Nature #TheNecatarBar #HealthyEcosystem #NativesForWildlife #NativesAreImportant #PocketPrairie #NativePocketPrairie #NativeGrasslands #EcoregionsMatter #NativePlantHike #LearningNatives #LearningNativePlants #WaterSaver #WatershedWiseSA https://www.instagram.com/p/CSGCzdBs83H/?utm_medium=tumblr

The habitat is FILLED with butterflies and other pollinator. Here are a couple I’m sharing. Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (dark form), Gulf fritillary, Common buckeye, wasp, and an Horace's duskywing. #TheNectarBar #PlantNative #PeaceLoveAndButterflies #Butterflies #NativePlants #Nature #TheNecatarBar #HealthyEcosystem #NativesForWildlife #NativesAreImportant #PocketPrairie #NativePocketPrairie #NativeGrasslands #EcoregionsMatter #NativePlantHike #LearningNatives #LearningNativePlants #WaterSaver #WatershedWiseSA https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ_NzPZMPBA/?utm_medium=tumblr

We have started a nesting ball. Over the years I noticed many birds collecting materials for nesting. This year, I decided to make a nesting ball. I took two hanging baskets and connected them to make a sphere. Then as I lightly started to clear up the habitat after our record breaking freeze, I stuffed the ball with the materials. Instead of throwing it out, I’m making it accessible for for reuse. #TheNectarBar #PlantNative #PeaceLoveAndButterflies #Butterflies #NativePlants #Nature #TheNecatarBar #HealthyEcosystem #NativesForWildlife #NativesAreImportant https://www.instagram.com/p/CL55RIYnjwV/?igshid=1u0ndhri2huaa

With a record breaking freeze reaching 9° here in San Antonio, many are wondering how the plants are doing. Well here’s just a few I can share to show you just how resilient our wonderful Texas native plants are. Be patient, have faith, and continue planting natives in all your habitats, no matter where you are in the world. #TheNectarBar #PlantNative #PeaceLoveAndButterflies #Butterflies #NativePlants #Nature #TheNecatarBar #HealthyEcosystem #NativesForWildlife #NativesAreImportant #PocketPrairie #NativePocketPrairie #NativeGrasslands #EcoregionsMatter #WaterSaver #WatershedWiseSA https://www.instagram.com/p/CLnwusAHBFK/?igshid=qr2cohwp9ap4
