I am so grateful to be the new recipient of this special coin as a gift from Dave Evans. I believe there are no coincidences in life, and the chance that our paths should have crossed was rare. I've taught a course on "Saving the Monarchy" at Red Butte Gardens for about six years now, with hundreds of people taking the course. Had Dave not followed up with an email, which led to a phone conversation - this endearing friendship would never have happened. I will cherish it until I know the right person to gift it to next.

I received this coin from Brad Grimm. Brad is an amazing man with the passion for milkweed and monarch butterflies. I have acquired about 18 acres of marshy natural springs. I am blessed to on the land of two of these springs. And have great relationships with others that also own a few of the springs. Brad and Rachel Taylor put together a group of volunteers. And we planted about 1500 milkweed. I have decided who to pass the coin along to. But I will post later once I have passed the coin along to her. Thank you again Brad.

Thank you for taking initiative on a project that I am passionate to help you with. Harmony can be found in the actions taken today. Harmony will also be seen for generations to come as a result of your actions.

To the kind person who always cares for others.

Thank you for the taco this morning A.C.!

A neighbor dug some plants out of her yard for me. Some sedum, hellebores, and foxglove. Al things I didn’t have and always wanted. Now they are in and growing along happily. I let the coin fly and now it resides with her now. Thanks Pat!

Thank you for working safely. Merry Christmas. Spread the LUV!

Wonderful to give and then to receive. I look forward to passing on the good 😌

Thank you for operating safely. Appreciate the seasonal holiday treats. Merry Christmas!

Happy birthday T.W.! Thank you for hosting us on vacation. Your intentional good-will is contagious. Look forward to visiting you again soon. -Brad & Ashley

This coin landed in my hand after doing what I love to do ... show people around the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension Botanical Garden in Las Vegas.

Our Speciosa, Erosa and Subulata are the show show-stoppers but thanks to Master Gardener Anne Marie Lardeau, you will find a wide variety of milkweeds and nectar plants growing in our desert, beckoning butterflies to come down and hang out.

When you come to Vegas, take a break from the strip and come see us! It is a 15 minute drive from the strip. And please invite your butterfly friends!

It was a perfect moment today to present this Butterfly Effect coin to someone I've only known for a short time, but feel we've been friends for a lifetime. A.H. you are a remarkable man spreading your kindness and laughter everywhere you go...I wish you and your family the very best as you fly off into your new adventure!

GrowMilkweedPlants, you sincerely did make my day by presenting the Butterfly Effect coin to me. I luv traveling on Southwest Airlines...I've watched you over the years always treat the passengers as if they are your own family. You are a kind and gentle soul. I can't wait to pay it forward as I have someone very special in mind to present it to.

Thanks for all your help on the milkweed front. Plant the seeds far and wide. -Brad @ Grow Milkweed Plants

Thank you S.M.R. for presenting me with an A-List Kick-Tail. I appreciate you and thank you for being the best part of Southwest Airlines! I was so happy I had this coin in my pocket. I'm so happy I could give you something special in return, it made my day to.

Anne Marie, It was wonderful to meet you today. The passion you have for milkweed and monarchs is so motivating. Helping people understand more about the plants that support monarchs is so useful. I have never seen so many species of asclepias in one place. You have created a milkweed wonderland. Thank you! -Brad G.

Meeting Glenda B at the Botanical Gardens in Las Vegas was a breath of fresh air. The knowledge of the plants in the garden and willingness to share information was much appreciated. It was a pleasure meeting you today!

Starting this coin's journey by giving it to Nestor R. was a perfect start. The butterfly effect is epitomized in everything that Nestor does. Making positive connections between people and nature is a lifelong activity. Thank you Nestor for sharing your garden with me and connecting me with others who have similar interests in Asclepias.

This coin was given to me by Brad, a guy that works very passionately with milkweed and monarchs. He has been a great friend and I'm so thankful that he exists! The love of monarchs brought us close together, long live the monarchs! :D

I'm going to carry this coin around for a moment. When I'm ready to set it free I'll give it to someone as a thank you or perhaps someone I make a connection with while outdoors.
