4/3 Greetings! Our milkweed had finally come back after a freeze but I despaired of seeing one of our Monarch friends. Imagine my delight to return this evening around 5 p.m. to find Mme Butterfly in my garden and searching - searching for a friendly perch. Since she didn't see the milkweed in bloom, I stood next to it and...lo and behold...she fluttered over and has now laid many eggs on several milkweed plants. Photos to follow. She does seem a bit weary and am wondering whether this could be her first stop since that long journey. pv
