| Hi everyone,
The green wave has descended upon me, a newbie, like the rest of you and here are the containers I have sprouting so far! Clarkia
The last six and one of the Butterfly Weed containers I just noticed today. I'm writing down the days when I see sprouts in a new container. This is lots of fun and I'll do it in years to come! Today is my birthday too and I have lots more to plant. It's nice today so I'll be planting some more today! Brad AKA Moonwolf |

| Happy birthday, Brad!! And congratulations on all your sprouts! You must be warmer where you are--all I have so far are a few lupine sprouts and they're not even green yet. |
|
| Thanks, gardenweed! We've been having nice warmer temps but still getting chilly at night. A few of the ones that sprouted aren't green yet either. I hope you'll see more sprouts soon! Brad AKA Moonwolf |

| Happy Birthday! That's a nice present, isn't it? You have quite a collection. I am like Gardenweed still in the frigid zone, not much happening, but the green wave is coming. |

| Congratulations! I am just learning about butterfly gardening. Later on I am hoping that you might share which plants attract the most birds & butterflies & share whether you ws'd or what to get that plant. TIA. How about a cat off the internet to happy dance with you? Happy Birthday! Your sprouts popped up to celebrate with you!

| Congratulations! Happy Birthday! Brad. |

| Thank you again, guys! Ellenr, yes it is a nice birthday present to have! I do have lots of different seeds! I just got done planting 11 more containers! River, I'll keep you and everyone else updated on which plants are butterfly and hummingbird (You did mean hummingbirds?) magnets. I planted a coral honeysuckle last summer but I'll see how it does since I heard it attracts the hummers. Love the dancing cat picture! I'll post a picture of my ice cream cake later on! We started eating it yesterday (more or less celebrated then). I wish you all could have a slice! Brad AKA Moonwolf |

| Happy Birthday Brad!!! :D |
|
| Brad - Happy Birthday, and congrats on the sprouts! I wondered if you were starting a Butterfly garden, when I read you list-plant plenty of host plants, they will double, at least, the amount and types of butterflies you'll get! My cats go upstairs and hide when I do the Dance in the house, so maybe it's good thing to have the picture! Shirley! |

| I'm getting my birthday wishes in a little late, but a very Happy Birthday to you! What a nice birthday surprise to get the green wave. You will attract the butterflies with that list of plants. It really makes a difference to have the right plants! |

| happy slightly belated birthday! congrats on your sprouts!! |

| Thank you everyone! Sorry, I forgot to post a picture of my cake! I'll post it here later on! I was very tired last night and forgot about it. Shirley, I do have seeds for some host plants already started or have yet to plant. I have common, swamp, tropical and poke milkweed, fennel, rue and parsley seeds too. Bev, I'm hopiing to get all sorts of butterflies in the yard this year! I usually see the swallowtails and many other types (including a hummingbird moth) but rarely the monarchs come into the yard. I did see one while out walking though last summer and it appeared to be a female laying eggs on the common (wild) milkweed plants! Keeping my fingers crossed! Now I'm off to go check my containers!
