			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought I would put together some brief videos on how to create a successful Butterfly Garden for my last day of vacation.</p>
<p>There are a total of 5 videos, each one is less than 2 minutes long.  Watching these should give you a decent idea of how to start (or continue) a successful Butterfly Garden.</p>
<p>In this first video, I talk about how to buy Milkweed, what prices you should expect to pay (at least in Houston), how to tell if you have healthy Milkweed, and how to plant your Milkweed plants.</p>
<embed src="http://s0.videopress.com/player.swf?v=1.02" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="266" wmode="transparent" seamlesstabbing="true" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" overstretch="true" flashvars="guid=MamjVibA&amp;site=wporg" title="How To Plant Milkweed For Your Butterfly Garden"></embed>
<p>In this second video clip, I talk about the importance of having Nectar plants for your Butterfly Garden.  I also show a brief clip of my Butterfly Enclosures.</p>
<p>By the way, some good nectar plants I recommend are Penta, Salvia, Purple Coneflower, Lantana, Butterfly Bush, and the Cigar Bush.</p>
<embed src="http://s0.videopress.com/player.swf?v=1.02" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="266" wmode="transparent" seamlesstabbing="true" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" overstretch="true" flashvars="guid=qDSm5WRy&amp;site=wporg" title="The Importance Of Nectar Plants For Your Butterfly Garden"></embed>
<p>In this third video clip, I talk about some other Host Plants for your Butterfly Garden including, Pipevine, Fennel, and Citrus Trees.</p>
<embed src="http://s0.videopress.com/player.swf?v=1.02" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="266" wmode="transparent" seamlesstabbing="true" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" overstretch="true" flashvars="guid=ylLRDh4h&amp;site=wporg" title="Butterfly Gardening Host Plants"></embed>
<p>In the fourth video clip, I talk about some additional Host Plants for Butterflies including Spicebush and Passion Vine,  as well as what kinds of Butterflies you can expect to attract with the different Host Plants.</p>
<p>In this fifth and final video clip I talk about some additional Butterfly Gardening tools such as portable Butterfly Enclosures and long tweezers.</p>
<embed src="http://s0.videopress.com/player.swf?v=1.02" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="266" wmode="transparent" seamlesstabbing="true" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" overstretch="true" flashvars="guid=T58pgjuR&amp;site=wporg" title="Additional Tools For The Butterfly Garden"></embed>
<p>If you have any questions about these videos, where to buy plants or the additional Butterfly Gardening tools, just send me an email or leave a comment.</p>
<p>Hope you enjoy and it makes sense!</p>
