In a garden full of wings...
.
Chloe: Look. A monarch. Just hatched.
.
Kate: Nice looking. Not flying yet?
.
Chloe: They rest. It takes at least a couple of hours for their wings to dry and become
strong enough to fly. Strong veins.

Voice-over
Growing swan plant in the garden will attract female butterflies which
carry about a hundred eggs. When they’ve laid all their eggs they die. Caterpillar eats for ten days, then sleeps in its chrysalis for a couple of weeks. Not
native to New Zealand but a dash of complementary color to the green of a
garden. Attractive, only eat swan plant, no threat to
native flora. An ideal migrant really.
