This week in the Heart Felt household we've had the excitement and honor to care for a precious string of Monarch butterfly chrysalis. A local man here in the village has a passion for Monarchs and has a long term plan of opening a butterfly house. In the meanwhile he helps people to support his 'Monarch cause' by selling strings of chrysalis.
We have ours hanging over the fireplace and we've had the wonderful experience and privilege of watching the miracle of butterflies hatching!
If you want to help support and ensure the proliferation of the Monarch Butterfly in New Zealand, join Bob's Facebook page here.
Our count so far has been six successful hatched butterflies that have been released into our garden! Every time we see a butterfly flutter by we can't help think it's one of 'ours'. Now we have the anticipation of caterpillars on our Swan Plants ~ the whole life cycle in our own backyard. xx
