WowZa! I love it Mike. I have my seeds dried and ready to plant in November for next year. I have a whole area for my butterflies to lay their eggs on. I will do a post so you can see how much fun I have raising them.

Cool you have so much knowledge about these things. Throw some our way. :-) How long does it take to grow a descent size plant from seed?
Mike, I have no idea as I transplanted some roots from a field a couple of years ago. This will be the first time I spread seeds myself in that area. I actually raised 11 Monarchs this year and released them. It was the coolest experience ever. I am hoping to make my green house into a butterfly house once I am done with the plants in May. This will be my first real trial for a lot of them at once. I am so excited.
I have transplanted some Milkweed a few years ago. They took but too much shade killed them.My thing was planting trees when I first moved here. Now I have to open thing up a bit to get in more sun.
Coolest thing you are doing with the butterflies. :-)
Thanks Mike, I wanted to do it for a few years and this summer I saw a female laying her eggs and that was it. I just had to help make sure the ants and ladybugs did not eat them. I so enjoyed it. I will do a post soon. I hope you can get some Milkweed to grow soon, the cats might enjoy watching butterflies flitting about outside the windows. ;-)
