Monarch Butterfly populations are dropping precipitously over the past several years. We can all help reverse that trend by planting milkweed in our yards, gardens and communities. (Milkweed is the only plant on which they lay their eggs and the only plant that their caterpillars can eat). This little guy is thriving on a potted Tropical Milkweed plant in our back yard.
