Milkweed and Monarchs


 I planted six milkweed plants last week.  The next day there were monarch caterpillars on two of them.  Within days a monarch butterfly was buzzing them.  It doesn't take them long to find their happy homes.

How odd we both featured Milkweed in our posts today, but mine is a much latter stage. This plant remains critical for Monarch butterflies so I hope the seeds spread far and wide.
