I observed a female monarch laying eggs on the tropical milkweed in my backyard garden. The milkweed is 3 feet tall with orange and yellow flowers. I noticed the monarch going from plant to plant late in the afternoon. She also took several rest breaks while drinking nectar from the milkweed flowers. After she flew away, I was able to identify several single eggs on the underside of the milkweed leaves.
