I moved to Florida from Midwest last fall. I found Wild Floridian I few months ago and I just love your program! I put in 6 milkweed plants in my backyard and have seen a few butterflies but a number of caterpillars but they always seem to disappear, I’m thinking lizards. Anyway, I’m so happy …I just found my first chrysalis,!!on my wooden fence, hidden behind a post and I wanted to let you know. It is the most beautiful color green I have ever seen! Thank you so much for your videos. I am learning so much from you!
My problem is I have an blank canvas with a huge oak tree, but no idea how to design or where to put what. Also, the native plant nursery in Sarasota is a good one too! They also help landscape your yard, which is what I’m leaning towards lol
Love your videos. I am so excited to watch and learn, especially since you are local. I live in Gulfport and have been to Wilcox Nursery and The Little Red Wagon. Pretty cool.
I have some pavers hiding there but I’m notorious of putting plants too close and then having to push through a jungle of plants. But if I didn’t your advice would be spot on
Cool! Thank you for sharing this resource! I will go check it out. You Rock! Thank you for the tips. I have noticed two kinds of Zebra Longwings -- those with the yellow and black stripes and those with the white black stripes. Have you noticed this as well? I saw 5 this morning. I think they just hatched. I have passion flower vine on the fence. I love seeing my butterflies all summer long. I even saw Giant Swallowtails for a few weeks.
Im so excited to see updates on this projects in a few months ^_^ hey and i have a video idea: can you please make a proper native garden center tour? To both of the native garden centers you mention!! And in the tour you could talk about some of the plants and maybe future ideas. I think your viewers would highly appreciate it!! ✨🤩
Greetings from Space Coast! Love your videos! My yard gets full sun almost all day, which has made it tough to find plants that survive both me and the sun 😅
Love the new shade project I'll be working on a garden this winter adding your suggestions to the mix. Excited about passion vine that will be a first for me. 🌺
I have planted currently to passion vines, one for decoration, the red and white and one for fruit. The purple, super aggressive super invasive. You have to stay on them and trim them constantly or they will eat up and tear down whatever you have in its path but the fruits good.❤
Best book I recommend for native shade gardens - Native Florida Plants for Shady Landscapes by Craig Huegel. Most shady flowers like deciduous trees, so you get a big spring flush. I’ve seen pawpaws do well in shade, native ferns, wild coffee, and beauty berries. My friends property off a creek has native azaleas, Virginia willow, pipe stem (agarista populifolia) and shiny Lyonia that all flower and have pollinators.
Love Craig Hugel’s books! They had a paw paw but I’m holding off for another area and oak leaf hydrangea and I really want native azalea. Your friend’s yard sounds amazing!
@@WildFloridian they don’t know what they have 😂. They just moved there and had a new baby. I’ve been holding off giving any of my wild landscaping advice. Lots of invasive species I want to clear out but they are all pretty ornamentals. Slow playing my native landscaping ideas, which is basically cut out the invasives and let everything else thrive.
@@WildFloridian i think it’s hard to appreciate some of our natives because they are more inconspicuous. But seeing the life they bring in gives me more joy. But I love bugs, snakes, spiders 😅😂 so hard to promote that aspect
Oh and I LOVE Little Red Wagon Native Nursery!!! They are in South Tampa and I’m just west of airport so sooo close!! Also, maybe I shouldn’t comment as the video starts so i don’t have to post multiple comments?? 🤷🏼♀️😉
I can not believe the joy you get from plants! You are like me...hooked!!! Thank you for sharing and I'll be going to the nursery later to get some shade plants. My problem is... I have dense shade 😥 so, I'm not sure what to grow? Someone recommended Pinwheel jasmine, do you know anything about it? 🤷 Thanks for all you do and share 💖
Yay! Plant enthusiasts unite! Many of the ones I picked like full shade except maybe the aquatic milkweed. Also if you go to a native nursery they will show you all the plants that will work in your garden. I usually take a picture of the area and both native nurseries have given me ideas.
@@WildFloridian I'll google that, maybe I have a closer one and don't have to go to Tampa 😁 Be well and be safe!!! Let's plant some joy together then ❤🤗💐💖😊👍
I’m growing some lobelia from seed and planned to put it out but I have hardly any shade, wasn’t sure if it’ll handle the sun. Might hide it under the porch next to my palm 🤣
It would be helpful if you give the botanical name along with the common name, so we can research. Better yet, list the botanical names in the description.
I love your channel, but if you could put up the name of the plants in writing that would be so helpful. I do speak really fast and I can't understand what kind of plant you are saying. sorry.

Morning sunshine!!!! I have so much shade from my oaks! So happy to tune into this episode.
Yay! Hopefully you got some ideas! 😄

your videos make me smile 😊 love from Miami!
I'm so glad! 😃
Thank you for your videos. One of these days we will cross paths. It seems inevitable. Happy gardening my fellow Floridian. You’re awesome
Great recommendations! Needed some for my shady areas. Just have shiny coffee and camelia there now
I love seeing all the potential projects I can do once I buy a new home in pinellas! So glad to watch your videos!
How exciting! Yay to your future garden! 🪴🥰☀️

I love Little Red Wagon!!!!
Put a piece of slate in front of your water softener so the plants won’t grow and you can step there. Also under the hose.
I have some pavers hiding there but I’m notorious of putting plants too close and then having to push through a jungle of plants. But if I didn’t your advice would be spot on

LOL! That is the opposite problem 🤣
Thanks for the showing that nursery! I will definitely be visiting them ☺️
I'm glad you like it! Can't wait to hear what you buy!
Great video, thank you!
Thank you ☺️
Oh I need that white passion!!
Do it!!!
Love the new shade project I'll be working on a garden this winter adding your suggestions to the mix. Excited about passion vine that will be a first for me. 🌺
Yay Kim! Can't wait to hear how it goes. 😄

Going to Red Wagon ASAP
YAY!
I just had a second set of monarchs caterpillars that devoured a potted flat leaf parsley, so I'll keep it around.
Monarch caterpillar doesn’t eat parsley black swallowtail caterpillar eats parsley
Amazing! It is so fun to have caterpillars!
@@laurenrhoads9712 Cool🦋
They looked identical to the monarchs that were on the milkweed. 🦋
@@laurenrhoads9712 Just looked at some pictures I had taken of both the monarch and swallowtail and see the pattern differences. 😎 🐛🦋

How is this section of your garden doing?
My basil grows a little.then stops. Why? tom in tarpon springs

Isn’t that Mexican petunia invasive ?
