MONARCH BUTTERFLIES ARE ON THEIR WAY SOUTH...GET YOUR BUTTERFLY WEED READY FOR THEM

MONARCH BUTTERFLIES ARE ON THEIR WAY SOUTH...GET YOUR BUTTERFLY WEED READY FOR THEM

I read that the monarch butterflies have been spotted passing through Ontario.

Get your butterfly weed ready.  It's a host plant.  The monarchs will lay their eggs on it and you'll have more butterflies.  In August, I start feeding my butterfly weed so it will have 

lots of leaves for the tiny caterpillars to eat.

This picture is from last fall.
They love pentas, too.
