Chrysalis hatching by the dozens. New butterflies emerging daily at painters greenhouse. Back in August and early September, we begin seeing hundreds of monarch caterpillars feeding on our potted milkweed plants (A. tuberosa, A. incarnata,A.Syriac, and poke milkweed). We have grown 5000+ milkweed plants this season for sale to both large and small conservation and educational projects. Very proud to be part of helping to increase the number of butterflies in this year's migration. Btw we tagged a dozen of them this week.
