I love monarchs and have been interested in their habitats, migration and lives for many years but did not know much about them. While on vacation in Fredericksburg, TX in July 2021, I visited the Wildseed Farms Nursery and saw an incredible sight. Butterflies were flying all over and around a display of Blue Mist plants. I brought one plant back home with me and planted in a small backyard flowerbed. The monarchs flocked to the plant. I have replanted the seeds as well as having shared the seeds with at least 10 friends. I have bluebonnets and milkweed planted in my front flowerbeds, but the Monarchs love my Blue Mist garden the best. I have photos & videos of swarms of monarchs feeding on the Blue Mist. I would love to have a sign to designate my garden as a feeding stop on their October Migration.

I have always had 1 milkweed plant but this year I threw out multiple seeds and had multiple plants around the garden. This was also my first year not using chemicals in the garden and adding “beneficial insects” to the mix. I am so excited to report I spotted 4 monarch caterpillars this morning and one butterfly that emerged yesterday. I have also started planting “native pollinators” this year, I have purchased leafcutter bees for the past 3 years and also had a plethora of Swallowtails this year with at least 40 caterpillars total over the summer.

I’m going to Monarchs on the Mountain to find out more about how to help. I already have a 4-foot by 16-foot garden of Zinnias that the Monarchs love!! But my milkweed seeds didn’t produce any plants this year!!

I’m more than just love Monarch butterflies. Before my Momma passed she told me that when I saw Monarchs,
it’s her making sure I know that she’s always right here with me.
