My Milkweed patch

[Catherine]

I have been planting Milkweed in response to the Monarch crisis. Many of us have been planting Milkweed.
So here is my personal Milkweed patch.


This is the other kind of Milkweed I have established in my garden


This is the first year I have a number of healthy plants and I noticed eggs on them.
This one is covered in eggs.
There are some on this one too.

There are plenty of seed pods forming too.


I am not sure they are monarch eggs, but there  is a good chance that they are. Monarchs have been spotted on my Milkweed.  
Now I have to watch for them to hatch. If they do there are plenty of leaves for them to eat. Could this be the year that a monarch actually emerges in my garden. If one does the butterfly bushes will be in bloom by then so they will have plenty to eat.
