Last year, an insect consumed the leaves of most milkweeds, and it was a very bad year for monarchs, according to our Extension entymologist. (Black swallowtails did very well, however.)All of the common milkweed in my yard was skeletons of leaf veins! This year two common milkweed plants have just shown themselves after a full week of rain. Hope the plants survived, and I'll have my full patch for the monarchs again.
