Female monarch butterfly at noon sighted laying eggs on 6-inch-tall Asclepias syriaca and Asclepias tuberosa in my home garden, Monarch Waystation #271, today! About 45 minutes later, either the same female or another laid eggs on my Asclepias curassavica, also about 6 inches tall, which overwintered in my pots on my south patio.
