We have a butterfly garden at my home, Mark barton. There are 15 butterfly bushes, 12 butterfly weed, plants, 3 common milkweed plants, 6 swamp milkweed plants, 1 Joe Pye weed plant, many marigolds, roses, etc. Unfotunately the one we planted at school was mowed down as school started. My home is only three miles from school. We have raised and released 12 monarchs in the last four days and have 16 in the pupa stage, with about 70 larva eating away. Our class is raising monarchs on rain water milkweed for the Monarch Watch Program at the University of Kansas. We are seeing a large vaierty of butterflies for the last three weeks.
