After we thought the last monarch of the year had left our area, we were thrilled at the sighting of one lone female monarch flitting about in our backyard. Since there were no other flowers in bloom in our waystation garden, we quickly moved two potted flowering tropical milkweed plants into the sunshine to capture her attention. It worked!! She feasted the entire afternoon until almost sundown. We assume she roosted in a nearby tree that night and was on her way to Mexico the next morning, energized and with a nice full tummy.
