Hi Melanie
I have zone envy although I know it has its challenges with heat, humidity amd the biting bugs.
I lived n So. Fla for many years ...most were before interest in gardening...middle and high school and briefly as young mom.
I bet you are creating a BBB paradise for your parents to enjoy even with their labor contribution.
Look forward to photos etc.
Do you have to do anything special when the hurricanes threaten with regard to the butterflies...or do they just " wing " it?
