I have lot of asclepias planted in the yard and as a result have lots of Monarch butterflys. Asclepias is the host plant for the Monarch. This year we had a bumper crop of butterflies. Some of our neighbors now grow the plant and are bringing them into the lanai so they can watch the whole process of egg to butterfly. It is a beautiful plant and the Monarchs need all the help we can give them. Plant some asclepias, please. I have some seedlings and will have seed soon if anyone is interested.
