I had some left over milkweed plants from raising monarchs in the classroom this spring. I planted them in my back yard (which is adjacent to a nature preserve) and have waited all summer to "sight" a monarch butterfly around the milkweed. Finally I saw two, although after inspecting the milkweed plants, I see no evidence of an egg deposited. These 2 monarchs are the first I have seen in our area since last fall.
