I thought all of the monarchs had left my area. Then, this past Saturday, eight flew into my yard together. They stayed for several hours, enjoying the flowers in my garden. We had unusually warm weather- in the 80's. I did not see them on Sunday, so I believe they were on their journey south.

I have gathered hundreds of milkweed seeds from my plants. My goal for next year is to plant them in linear manner along one of my pasture fence lines on my farm- about 1/4 mile in length.
