Why yes, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close up.

Closeup of Monarch
Sorry Miss. Desmond the camera wasn't ready.
What plant are you on? Are you just passing through or do you live in that area all year?
Norma's on her favorite food plant, good ol' Milkweed. Just planted and only 10" tall.
Hope Norma is headed north!
I don't want to say "never" but haven't seen Monarch's on their way back from Mexico. I see them on their way down, which means I have to wait a long time! :( Hopefully all the milkweed coming up in my bed will be calling to them.
Belive it or not, 3 weeks ago I had 13 Monarch cats on my other two Milkweeds and they completely chewed it down to the stems. I located 4 chrysyllises(sp) out of all of them and sent them to school with my 12 year old DD for her science class. Where that Butterfly came from, who knows ???
