I was lucky to have three Monarchs "hatch" in my garden. I have Tropical Milkweed as supplement while growing Swamp, Sandhill, and other #milkweed from seed, but R too small for caterpillars. Native milkweed is hard to find. Read the blog: hydrangeasblue.com #nativemilkweed #floridamilkweed
The first monarch babies of the year are feasting on our native milkweed!

Pollinator plants in Napa Valley CanDo’s garden for the Food Bank, including narrow-leaf milkweed for the Monarchs. Last year we found a caterpillar on our milkweed, and later a few Monarchs. Hoping for more this year!

Monarch Butterfly life cycle, stage 2:
🐛 The caterpillar stage (aka larva) lasts about 2 weeks.
It eats nonstop—milkweed—and molts 5 times as it grows!
Think of it as the butterfly’s version of a teen with an endless appetite. 😅

I’m so excited to see this patch of #nativemilkweed do its thing this year and all the monarchs I will have! Last year I had one milkweed and 5+ monarchs 🐛🦋 #plantnativegardens
