Coleup--

As much as I have not been part of all this Monarch Butterflies thing---
I will have you know that i already have some of their plants in my garden.
Not sure they will come and visit a development--=but if they do--they are welcome..

IF they sprout up from this hard winter--I already have:
"?" is that I am not sure if this is a nectar plant)

New England Aster
One Butterfly Bush
Tiger Lilies
B&B Salvia
Cardinal Flower
BE Susans
Cone Flowers
Big Alliums (?)
Will plant a mini sized Goldrnrod
I have Phlox--in 3 different places (?)
Will have 2 plants of VA Bluebells--just bought them.
Lots of Zinnias (?)
Lady-in-red salvias
And--if any germinated--or IF someone will give me some--Butterfly Weed.

Not bad! Come on over Butterflies---had plenty of threm last year--
but don't think i saw a Monarch???

Fed a lot of cats. for Black Swallow Tails. They ate all my Dill and parsley--
and I allowed them to. Bought lots of new of these....

As you can see--i AM with you--just on a smaller scale.
From last summer.....
