Let me know if you need some. 😎

The iconic Monarch butterfly is now officially an endangered species in North America. 🦋😔

Among the causes of their steep decline, the lack of milkw**d (their caterpillar's host plant and exclusive food source) in undeniably the main one and by far. Together, we can reverse this course. Together, we can plant milkw**d seeds and give monarchs a much needed breather.

Fall is the best season to plant milkw**d. Our cold winters create physical and chemical reactions in milkw**d seeds and increase their germination rates the following Spring. 🌱

You can order milkw**d seeds now from our partner Lasclay (a great company by the way) on the link below and get an exclusive 20% discount with the following code: MONARCH20

It's a small but very useful gesture, plus it makes a great gift for your loved ones!

Monarchs will surely thank you for it by paying you a visit next Spring 🦋🧡💪

They only do good, not harm.The spray is the enemy.

🌱 Pods today… seeds tomorrow.
The cycle is moving forward, and soon we’ll have seeds ready to share.
From pod to seed, from leaf to wing. 🦋✨

The best way to attract swallowtails to your garden is to plant their host plants!

Herbicides and insecticides are part of the Monarchs problem

🛑 Spraying for Mosquitoes is a Scam
• Collateral Damage – Those sprays don’t just kill mosquitoes. They wipe out dragonflies, bees, and butterflies — the very creatures that naturally keep mosquito numbers in check.
• Short-Lived Effect – Chemical sprays only reduce mosquitoes temporarily, while destroying the ecosystem that balances them long-term.
• Better Solutions – Encourage dragonflies, bats, and native birds by creating habitats with water features, pollinator plants, and avoiding pesticides.
• Nature Knows Best – Healthy ecosystems regulate themselves. By protecting pollinators and predators, you get stronger, natural mosquito control — no toxins required.

💚 Choose balance, not chemicals. Protect pollinators, protect yourself.

🤞🌱 More exciting news—fingers crossed! 🦋

It’s shaping up to be an incredible season for milkw**d diversity at Leaf2Wing!
If all goes well, I’ll be collecting seeds from Low Milkw**d—a beautiful variety with soft yellow blooms.

That would bring us to FOUR different types of milkw**d we may be able to offer this fall:
🌼 Low Milkw**d (yellow blooms) – hopefully!
🤍 White Swamp Milkw**d
💗 Pink (fuchsia?) Showy Milkw**d
🌸 Cinderella Swamp Milkw**d (rosy-pink blooms)

Each type plays its part in helping monarchs and other pollinators thrive—and I can’t wait to share them with you!

📦 As always, our seeds are free, no strings attached.
🦋 You plant them. Together, we help the monarch migration continue.

Also love Painted Lady’s ….must be a sucker for underdog plants as they use thistle.

🦋 Butterflies & Caterpillars of North America
Get familiar with the garden guests fluttering around and the crawlers munching on leaves!

• Monarchs and Viceroys look alike, but only one mimics
• Swallowtails show bold stripes in both life stages
• Red Admirals and Painted Ladies migrate long distances
• Sulphurs and Cabbage Whites are common in veggie gardens
• Fritillaries, Skippers, and Anglewings blend beautifully into forest edges
• Knowing both forms helps support native species in your garden

🐛 Spotting caterpillars helps you protect pollinators while gardening naturally!

Just a little more Milkw**d 😎

What a waste of taxpayer money when we could be helping out the pollinators.

🌍🦋 The Monarch’s Journey is in Trouble

Each year, millions of monarch butterflies set out on a migration so extraordinary it spans thousands of miles. But in recent decades, their numbers have plummeted.

Loss of habitat. Pesticides and Herbicides over usage. Climate change. These threats are unraveling a migration that has lasted for generations. Without milkw**d—the only plant where monarchs lay their eggs—their young have nowhere to grow, and the cycle breaks.

At Leaf2Wing, our mission is simple: get native milkw**d back into as many yards, gardens, and green spaces as possible. Every plant matters. Every seed counts.

📦 We send free milkw**d seeds, no strings attached.
🌱 You plant them.
🦋 Together, we give monarchs a fighting chance.
