Cloud Cover + Dropping Temps = Transplant time for the milkweed! Made a giant window box on wheels for the Narrow Leaf Milkweed. #WildlifeGarden #NativePlantGarden #PollinatorGarden #SaveTheMonarchs #LegaseedWildlifeGarden
It doesn't look like much is going on above the surface of my Narrowleaf Milkweed, but below? An extensive root system is establishing itself that will get this plant through our harsh valley conditions #WildlifeGarden #PollinatorGarden #CaliforniaNativePlants #SaveTheMonarchs #BirdFriendlyGarden
Happy #WesternMonarchDay!
A shout out to @saunieindiego.bsky.social for making me aware of this 🙏🏻
Speaking of #Monarchs, I visited the #MonarchSanctuary in #PacificGrove yesterday & there were hardly any Monarchs there 😢

Celebrating the incredible journey of the Western Monarch today 🦋✨
Let’s protect their habitats, plant more milkweed, and keep their migration alive.

Today is National Western Monarch Day. You can help their population recover by planting native milkweed and nectar plants. The best time to start is now. nationaltoday.com/western-mona... #savethemonarchs #WildlifeGarden #NativePlantGarden #PollinatorGarden #LegaseedWildlifeGarden
Potting White Yarrow tonight to help fuel the Monarchs on their way to and from the California Coast overwintering grounds. Milkweed planting is in the works, too! #savethemonarchs #WildlifeGarden #NativePlantGarden #PollinatorGarden

🦋 Monarchs, milkweed, and legislation — yes, they’re all connected.

They might not viewed as the most manicured of yards and some might not understand why we do it, why we plant native gardens. This makes it all worthwhile.

This monarch was grabbing a quick zinnia lunch as I took a break a few minutes ago in central NC.

A lot more monarchs popped out today! (There are a lot of us crazy people who help the caterpillars live and grow in safety)

Super excited to find monarch caterpillars today on the milkweed I planted this year!

Do you know about or have the #milkweed that doesn't look, smell, or grow like a milkweed (other than the seed pods!)? It's not a monarch's favorite, but they absolutely can and will use it. Meet the #honeyvinemilkweed (Cynanchum laeve). 😅 #savethemonarchs #becurious #getoutside #natureiscool

Every voice matters.
We must protect it.
It is our responsibility to do so.

My newest adventure; trying to help the monarchs one caterpillar at a time! #savethemonarchs #monarchbutterflies #blackandyellow 🦋🐛🌿🦋
Released the last #monarchbutterfly. Only found 3 #caterpillars this year. This one took off and came back to the garden. Guess it’s not ready to continue its journey, yet.

A new study links pesticide #exposure to mass monarch mortality in 2024. On average, 7 #pesticides were found in each #butterfly - 3 at lethal levels.
This isn’t drift. It’s harm.

Our front porch is finally back to what it should be this time of year; a mini native plant & monarch butterfly nursery (it's only had plants for years now, because the monarchs stopped coming). Multiple instar cats and SO. MANY. EGGS. 🦋💖 EXCITING! #savethemonarchs #monarchbutterflies #becurious
Finally got back to some bird atlasing in PA (& did well and the weather was lovely!), AND got a bonus! Found a new (to us) species of native milkweed (green milkweed) AND it had a monarch caterpillar on it! 🦋😍 #monarchbutterfly #monarchcaterpillar #savethemonarchs #becurious #greenmilkweed

This fellow showed up and has been hanging around since mid-last week. No sign of his woman, but found cats AND eggs last night! First time in 5 years (despite having an abundance of native milkweeds in the yard). YUUUUUSSSS!!!! #monarchbutterfly #savethemonarchs #becurious #getoutside
For #SundayYellow my first photo of a monarch butterfly
Little things do make a difference. Can you imagine a world without butterflies?
