N.A.N. I grow many tropical (tender perennials/tropical) in the garden. My tropical MW seeds happened to have dispersed in large containers, and they became "companion planting" specimens for my Monarch over the years -- which is like a bonus for me.

Ju, I have been looking for monarch, but I haven't seen one single one yet here. One of my neighbors told me this morning that he saw a few of those "Butterflies" and thinking they were Monarch. I wasn't sure, if that's the case. Because, without seeing those orange colored butterflies in close up, I myself have mistaken Gulf Frits. for monarch before. lol.
1. One of my "tender perennial" in the garden. The brugmansia.
2. An old picture taken back in 2011, where Monarch was here on August 30th. They're late this year. LOL
