4 days ago the first milkweed appeared. Then a whole field of them in my certified wildlife habitat yard. About 5 inches tall.

A monarch came fluttering through and laid eggs on the underside of the leaves of several milkweeds. I was spellbound never seeing the actual laying of the eggs right in front of my eyes!

My yard is an oasis in a suburban community with chemically treated lawns. I'm hoping the neighbors will follow my example and get excited about the bees, butterflies and other creatures.
