Milkweed visitors


We planted milkweed seeds in hopes of attracting monarch butterflies, but it seems they're a hit with a wide variety of insects!

    Milkweed is also a good pollinator plant so it is doing a good job in that respect form your photo, Sue. Have a wonderful week and thanks for hosting!

    It certainly attracts the insects. Here's hoping for Monarchs. I guess that this is the non-native milkweed. We have catnip which the Bumblebees really love.

    Well I thought I had Milk weed in my garden, but they dont have those yellow orange flowers, so out they go. Awesome they are such pollinators!! Thank you for hosting, I hope you have a great week!

    Those bees look enormous - or are they wasps?

    Always good to encourage the bees, can't wait until Summer here when I will be able to see some South Island insects

    Milkweed is a beautiful plant. If it can grow well here, I would love to plant some too.

    So beautiful flowers and creatures. Without them it would be... nothing.
    Thank you for the game.
    Have a serene week ahead!

    Milkweed is a beautiful plant but I understand the native varieties (pink flowers and I love their scent) can be aggressive growers. So I decided my small yard couldn't host them - thank you for sharing yours! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    I planted milkweed for the first time, but the heat has dried it up. And everything else. I didn't realize it is so pretty.

    I have never seen colorful milkweed! Ours is abundant but white only.
