Monarchs are Gonna Love Me!

We usually have a wealth of butterflies in our yard, but knowing that monarch numbers have been dwindling, we want to do what we can to encourage their continued growth. So, today I bought two different species of milkweed, and I’m excited about the prospects.

Growing milkweeds for monarch butterflies

Addendum: Hope you get a chance to visit this site too – Joyful Butterfly. What’s nice is they tell you want plants are native to your state.

BTW, I received my milkweed and my ferns yesterday. Now I just have to wait until the rain stops, but we sorely need it, so no complaints.
