It has begun!



These are photos from a previous year, but our milkweed plants are shooting up and forming flowers - the favorite food of monarch butterfly caterpillars! We're doing our bit for trying to preserve this beautiful species!

  1. Good deed! I once recovered a tagged Monarch which had been raised in the back yard in the next county..

  2. I so wish I'd kept seeds from the milkplant that use to be next door. I need to order some. Love seeing the butterflies, but they have been scarse here. Beautiful photos. Thanks for the link up

  8. That's a great series (all together) but that caterpillar one is really lovely, strangely. THe curve of the tail and the detail of the legs and stripes...

  18. Loved your photos. Alas, I don't have room for milkweed in my small, mostly shady yard, but the wild milkweed is blooming. Thank you for caring! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
