I was planting my garden today after a morning rain and I saw a female monarch butterfly. She was laying eggs on the milkweed that was in my vegetable garden. The plants were only 4 - 5" tall, but she was working hard to fine someplace to lay her eggs. I have bigger plants on the south side of the house in the flower gardens, but she was not going over there. Wish I could have told her where to look for big milkweed. She had a very dark color and good wing condition.
