I planted milkweed last year and 3 came this year to lay eggs. So far I have seen 4 juvenile Monarchs. They came out, ate for about half a day, and flew away.

I do that with my early spring flowers and seedlings.<br />Lovely monarchs.

Mine have really slowed down and are not producing much anymore. Mildew is a problem too. The Monarchs are so pretty, I'm really enamoured of the black trim with white spots as a design element on the wings, body and even head. Monarchs are not really known where I live but someone reported a caterpillar on their milkweed 20 miles away, so perhaps there is hope. I'm actually trying to grow milkweed for them but rabbits nibbled it to the ground.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-18099786860554628872014-09-21T23:09:40.484-04:002014-09-21T23:09:40.484-04:00Those are beautiful shots, but i am so sorry for ...Those are beautiful shots, but i am so sorry for the squash, they are still in their prime!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848957958059476177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-22215630357151360472014-09-21T21:58:56.580-04:002014-09-21T21:58:56.580-04:00Beautiful photos of the monarchs!
