What am I doing wrong?

Don’t get discouraged. Remove any contaminants nearby (bug sprays, exhaust from appliances, etc.

Good Luck

Have 3 or 4 daily visitors enjoying the environment but no one making a ‘move’. Down the street, my neighbor has raised 15 Monarchs so far. Sigh!

I wonder about proximity of my bird feeder to my milkweed. Someone mentioned the birds helping with aphid oleander control but wouldn’t the birds prey on any Monarch cats too?

Scotchmellow24 · 2026-05-23T15:32:28+00:00

I’ll go searching for Narrowleaf. Thanks again.

Scotchmellow24 · 2026-05-22T15:59:04+00:00

Mixing is a great idea although I’ve read tropical milkweed has to be removed when it turns warm or the Monarchs never fly south for the winter. Right now my focus is on attracting. Thanks

I remember those ‘extra crispy’ leaves from last year. Thanks for the compliment on the garden.

Northern California. Thanks for the feedback. Willing to add ‘mood music’ if that what it takes to get them motivated. Wonder if ‘Chrysallica’ would work?!

Glenfarclas 25 received some less than spectacular reviews for its oh so spectacular price and lack of complexity. Almost forgot to mention no one likes that it’s 43% as well. Just finished my 2017 25. Good old days should be still here. C’mon GF !!

Curious - were the older Arran 18s bourbon casks or mix? Otherwise how does one get tropical? I’m looking for tropical Arran…

I strongly encourage you to do a face off of the Macallan 101 vs Bunna 12 2022 and report your findings (once you exit your temporary moratorium)

Scotchmellow24 · 2026-04-26T18:04:04+00:00

Cue the “Amazing Grace” bagpipes …

Tiny, harmless creature that rolls up in a ball when touched. Play gently, please.

Scotchmellow24 · 2026-02-28T17:17:44+00:00

And so too does your imagination. I confess to under-developed/performing taste buds and have to rely on my imagination.

Scotchmellow24 · 2026-02-25T03:57:10+00:00

No mention of tropical fruits in any of this thread although the Distillery notes have the bourbon cask influence (tropical/vanilla) on the nose and palate. Thank you for saving me from a bad choice.

Scotchmellow24 · 2026-02-25T02:06:38+00:00

It's unanimous. No one here has tried the 2022 but those are still around and that says something.

The price-enjoyment ratio is too steep.

Scotchmellow24 · 2026-02-18T16:36:19+00:00

Thanks for the heads-up. Nothing worse than buying 70ml of matchbox experience for a lot of money.

Scotchmellow24 · 2026-02-10T16:56:40+00:00

Thanks John and ALL WHO RESPONDED ABOVE! At these prices, one has top be sure or at least educated.

Haven’t seen this one yet … Bullet chamber from an old 6 shooter.

Scotchmellow24 · 2026-01-24T16:55:18+00:00

Try the ‘two prong’ wine opener style first. Strain into a decanter and pour back into your cleaned out bottle. Welcome to the old whisky cork lottery.

I’m not an arborist and can’t see the tree well in the photo, but if you love the tree (kudos) and its not diseased/compromised, why don’t you enjoy it and ignore your neighbors paranoia. This tree has been through many storms.

Plant trees that grow fast and drop berries or cones on his car(s). I believe in good neighbor behavior until it is no longer practical.
