There were 45 monarchs nectaring on frostweed on part of our property this the morning. We have 27 acres.

Editor's Note: Frostweed (Verbesina virginica) is named for the ice crystals that form on its stems when frozen. Blooming typically coincides with peak migration and is a major fall-blooming nectar source for monarchs in Texas. By fall it's usually at least three feet high and has dense clusters of snow-white flowers.
