I've never noticed any larval activity on my plants but they sure do a good job of providing nectar.

Why It's Called Butterfly Weed
This past week brought some much needed rain but the garden seems to be in a lull when it comes to flowers. The one flower that really pops right now is Butterfly Weed, Asclepias tuberosa.

ReplyDeleteYour Butterfly Weed is attracting a lot of beautiful butterflies! I think the ones in my yard mostly attract lots of bees. I haven't seen cats on mine either, although the Monarchs love the Swamp Milkweed.
