Butterfly Garden

Feeling kind of good this morning

9 years ago

Didn't see my first monarch this year till about three weeks ago. This morning I was wandering my backyard and stopped at a small patch of Tropical Milkweed I have and lo and behold I have no less than 20 Monarch cats feeding! And they were big ones! Yesterday I had a female laying eggs all over a much larger patch of Tropical Milkweed. I swear she was at it all day.

Up to this point I've been rather disappointed as far as butterfly sightings are concerned but this easily makes up for it.
