Earlier this spring I purchased a milkweed plant for the front #garden and it’s done well, though to my knowledge it had so far failed to attract any Monarch #butterflies. But yesterday was the day, a single Monarch appeared. Then this morning I read that due to habitat destruction and other causes the overwintering population in Mexico was down by 22% this year, so there will be far fewer of them migrating through here, a real tragedy.#gardening #butterfly #photography #MacroPhotography

@Trilobyter I love milkweed and last year had several groups of it. This year very few have come back which is disappointing

@Trilobyter This will be my 3rd year raising monarchs. Hoping this year I will have a few. 🩷

@Trilobyter I didn’t realize the group in Mexico was down so much.I raise them and had very few last year too. Disappointing.

@Trilobyter How sad there are so few monarchs! As someone else put it, you made this one's day. Good work! I got some organically grown plants to attract bees without risking them getting sick from that very same plants. We do what we can. I would like to take bigger steps but no longer can. But my heart is in each step.

@pascaline any and every step is a big step. There are many of us taking them so they do add up.

@Trilobyter I’ve noticed fewer milkweeds in this area over the last couple of decades, though there’s still some patches along the roadsides. We’re near Point Pelee, where the monarchs rest in the fall before heading your way 🙂

@Trilobyter Thank you for planting milkweed. I hope we all see some Monarch friends this year. I have 3 patches of milkweed that have attracted them in previous year.

@Trilobyter you are helping them by planting the milkweed and sharing your photos of them.
