Memories of the Monarch Butterfly
June 10, 2009 | Posted by Heather Shelby in Wildlife
Most of us have seen the monarch butterfly at some point, since they spend at least part of their lives in every state in the lower 48. Global warming, however, poses a serious threat to this migratory species, and soon glimpses of their tiger-striped wings may be a thing of the past.

I want to hear from people who planted Milkweed in their backyard. Did they really get Monarchs find the plant and laid their eggs.
We have them grown, but no eggs so far.
Also, found the plant more fragile than I thought. It does not like dry soil, it does not like too much water either. Any suggestions about fertilizer.
