Monarch butterflies depend on gardeners

[japple]

2. This organization has a milkweed sale every year and has plants that are appropriate

for each region of the country. The plants are shipped via UPS and my order of 32 plants arrived in great condition. I planted some and the rest were quickly grabbed up by friends. I think that all of us who planted milkweeds in the spring were rewarded with blooms this summer. I have several plants that my parents cultivated in the 1980s that are still thriving. Alas, I have yet to see a Monarch this year. I still have hope, though, that they are a bit late this year.
