Yesterday after watching a faded female lay eggs on emerging milkweed in our garden, I went to our local nursery and bought some. I came home with 8 potted swamp milkweed plants (quart size) and placed them throughout the garden. She was back today and this evening I have 26 eggs total on these 8 plants. The short emerging plants in my garden are also covered with eggs, and I will attempt to count these tomorrow! What a treat to have so many eggs so early in the season!
