6 Valentine Gift Ideas for a Butterfly Lover (or Friend)
Valentine Gift Idea 1- Binoculars for Viewing Butterflies
A perfect day in the butterfly garden is when you walk through and the butterflies accept you as part of the garden wildlife. However, sometimes they can be skittish and a little elusive. How can you overcome this problem so you can enjoy your garden butterflies without scaring them away? Why, with butterfly binoculars, of course!
Why is this a good butterfly gift idea?
- If your partner/friend has poor vision, this will allow them to enjoy the vibrant sights of butterflies from great distances or in depth at close range.
- Great idea for those with limited mobility. Binoculars allow them to zoom in on the butterflies without taking a step
- Do you and your honey like to sit on the patio while sipping a cool beverage? Butterfly binoculars let you relax without missing any butterfly action in the garden

I loved your heart filled with butterflies under “Three gifts for a butterfly lover.” Did you create it? I was wondering because I would love to have a flag to hang outside my house for Valentine’s Day with just the heart filled with butterflies.
Did you ever look into large magnets to put on the side or back of our cars? I had recommended this to you a year ago. You responded and said that you were interested in doing that. I had had one created about five years ago with the saying”Monarch Midwife -Helping Monarchs along the trail” Unfortunately after a period of five years the coating started to peel. I am interested in creating/getting/purchasing a new one to replace it!
I just got a Monarch shower Shower Curtain.
I also wanted to know when I should start my indoor planting for tropical milkweed. I live in New York city zone 7b.
Hi Johannes, I typically start seeds 4-6 weeks before moving them outdoors.
Hi Tony, I saw a comment elsewhere on your blog about potential problems switching cats to giant milkweed from other types. My giant milkweed plants are finally big enough to spare a leaf, so I tried feeding it to one of my cats. He ate it and promptly vomited and I’m not sure he’ll live. I emailed the nursery to ask about pesticide use, however I have had these plants for several months so I thought we’d be safe by now. Do you have any input about giant milkweed? We have been feeding tropical, but I hoped to branch out.
We’ve released 26 healthy butterflies so far this year and have 75 chrysalis in various stages of development. Last year’s total was 286. 🙂 Couldn’t do it without your great info!
Hi, I have heard a couple other raisers mention this issue with switching to giant milkweed…it sounds like something that should be researched. I hope your caterpillar recovers! congrats on all your recent raising success….
Hi Tony, this blog is super informative. My kids want to give Showy Milkweed seeds to their friends for Valentines Day. I was contemplating giving a few seed balls per child. We live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Would planting seeds directly in the ground in February be successful? If not is there a variety of milkweed that would be successful if planted by amateurs in northern CA in late Feb?
Thanks!
Whitney
Hi Whitney, winter planting seeds should work well for your region. For garden use, I would use individual seeds so you can space them out better:
Fall Planting Seeds
For gifting, try butterfly organza bags

Awww, I can’t get bonfire.com as a browser to order a shirt🙁
Hi Linda, I have not heard this issue before. Have you tried another browser or a different device?
I used a different device and was able to place an order.
Thank you very much!
Your butterfly magnets at only $2.99 are inexpensive enough to include inside a Valentine card and give to friends. I add a packet of Milkweed seeds.
I’m living in Tucson, AZ. 5 years ago I started a Butterfly garden with a dozen milkweed plants. It’s now full of over 200 milkweed plants, lantana, blue mist, Mt. Lemon Daisys and a nice little green house where the chrysalis hang, protected from the heat, the cold, the wind and occasionally, the rain. Last year I had over 1,000 Monarchs hatch and fly off. Many are still here, mating, laying eggs and providing lots of beauty in and around the fountain and across the entire backyard. Good luck to everyone who decides they can make a difference!
That sounds like HEAVEN!! I live in Wisconsin and we just finished wind chills of nearly -50….so I was just picturing your lovely greenhouse and it truly made me smile!!! You are an inspiration to us butterfly helpers….:) Tina
Hi Alice Ramirez, How wonderful that you are able to raise over 1000 Monarchs in a year! Congratulations!!!
I live in Minnesota and I feel very fortunate to raise 40 during the summer. Today 3/14/20 we are in the 30’s and sunny, snow is almost all gone for now…. so we know it won’t be too long B4 the butterflies will make an appearance up here…..I can hardly wait! Judy Anderson
