I have had milkweed blooming in my yard all winter. We have had a very mild winter and it just keeps growing. Monarchs visit here daily, they are mating and laying eggs. I have found many chrysalis during the winter, most of which hatched - probably a dozen at least. Some I have found that have not hatched have turned brown, probably due to being used as a site for other bugs to lay eggs in. My milkweed is almost 5 feet tall, I will be pruning it down a few ata atime, so the monarchs still have food.
