RE: Milkweed & The Monarch Butterfly: An Endangered Species In Canada
We haven't seen lots of monarchs in years. At best, 1 - 3 in a season. But this year we are loaded with them. There must be 3 -5 out there most of the time. Not sure why the change this year. One would think the terrible construction would chase them off...
Maybe there's a big patch of milkweed growing nearby? You have such a lovely garden even with all the construction I am sure it offers a wonderful habitat.
My husband did tell me that we had a good stand up at the barn, between the shelters. But there were no butterflies, caterpillars or chrysalis then. I also have a little stand of butterflyweed that they like in the New Herb garden. But I seldom see them by it, more in the middle where it was never weeded. Maybe that's a clue... :))
