What is this on my butterfly bushes????
Dare I hope it is the famed Monarch that lead me to plant milkweed plants
and butterfly bush seed last year in the hopes of attracting them?? http://s191.photobucket.com/albums/z...pillars003.jpg http://s191.photobucket.com/albums/z...pillars004.jpg I have been looking at my flower beds on an almost daily basis. I had to miss this weekend due to work and going and coming in the dark. Today I got home in daylight hours, started by my car, and worked my way over. I was so excited to see these cats on my butterfly weeds. I do know one thing-- if this truly is monarchs, I had better start off my milkweed seeds in November or December next year. I started them in peat pellets back in Feb, and transplanted them out last weekend. They are only a few inches tall, and only have 4-6 leaves apiece right now. My butterfly bushes came back from the roots, a pleasant surprise. |
