We planted milkweed in a couple of our backyard flower gardens last spring. This year the plants that came up in our yard have really multiplied greatly in one flower garden. This type is known as the Common Milkweed. The milkweed plants that were planted in the other flower garden did not fare as well, and not many have come back up this spring. Last year we had Monarch eggs on our Common Milkweed which hatched into larvae. We had a least one Monarch (and very possibly more) in the adult stage sitting and letting its wings dry. The most we observed in the chrysalis stage was 13. We are hoping to exceed that this year if all goes well.
