I forgot to attach a photo of my BST nursery, which is how I thought I could set up my monarch nursery, until the first attempt resulted in the milkweed wilting right away.

I'm happy I have as much milkweed as I have! We always had milkweed back in CT, so I had my sister send me seeds two years ago. Not many plants came up last summer, but this year I have quite a few. Husband wanted me to pull them out of my flower beds but I planted them specifically for the monarchs, so no way! I'm looking forward to having some in flower. When I was a kid, I loved seeing the butterflies flocking to nectar on the blooms.
