Hi Terri!! I haven't seen monarchs in my garden in years, so last year I bought my first milkweed and like magic they came!!! I heard that their population is down and that they need our help with planting the milkweed and for protecting them against preditors.... so I felt honored to help and for doing it for the first time last year... I raised and released 23!! ...and when they came back this year, I was thrilled, even went out and bought another plant so they don't run out of food! ...and the rest is history!!
Glad you liked #2 & #3!!

Thanks so much, Bill.... I think the word is out about my nursery school, I have little ones lined up to attend!!
Thankfully I always have my cell on me to take the pictures just so I can document what's happening!
