Finally, a Monarch

I leave the milkweed in my garden just so the monarch will have a host plant, plus we have phlox, and butterfly bushes. Today was very windy, but I managed one shot of this monarch on the patio.

Pretty shot Allison. I hope the Monarch populations come back. Can I plant milkweed; can I get it at a garden center?

@mccarth1 Not likely unless it is an unusual nursery. I can give you one any time. Not sure how they will transplant. Here is a place that will send you free seeds: http://www.saveourmonarchs.org/store/p17/Milkweed_Seeds.html.
