Got Milkweed?

The Monarch butterflies have landed in my yard.

(There are four butterflies in this picture.  Do you see them all?)

The Monarchs sometimes stop at the Purple Coneflower but what the really love is the Milkweed.

The Milkweed plant is a a favorite of the Monarch.    I planted it so they would come to visit my garden.    

 

This milkweed is like a magnet for them.  I saw seven Monarchs sitting  on this plant at one time.

Monarchs are travelers.   They migrate in the fall to spend the winter in Mexico.  

 

Milkweed is easy to grow.   If you want to attract Monarchs to your garden, plant some.
