Milkweed plants (Asclepias) are the host plants for Monarch butterflies...but milkweed is also a highly sought nectar source for many other butterfly species! Aside from attracting Monarch butterflies for egg-laying, milkweed entices swallowtails, painted ladies, American ladies, red admirals, fritillaries, and hairstreaks for nectaring.
Milkweed also draws hummingbirds and hummingbird clearwing moths to the garden for nectar.

  • Fur elise, one of my favorite songs to play on the piano

  • I hate to break this to you, but these are not monarch eggs... they are milkweed/oleander aphids.
