Anyone have naturally growing plants that Monarch butterflies feed on during migration? I have milkweed on my place.

Only milkweed here, I think I have the only ones in my area, but some places I worked a few miles inland have thousand of the plants, all covered in caterpillars at times. So good.

I've got a few varieties of milkweed; I've been encouraging it to take over my almost acre yard. New England Aster is popular with the bees, too.

I have at least five species of native Milkweed in my gardens and in my "ditch".
I also have Liatris lingulistylis, or Meadow Blazing Star and Mexican Sunflowers for the southern trip.
Zinnias and Cosmos work too.
For Swallowtails, parsley, Fennell and dill

I do, they are all over in my front yard. Got a lot of butterflys in the summer because of these.

In addition to a whole lot of milkweed, lots of native perennials including coneflowers, black-eyed Susan's, and daisies. Also butterfly weed and butterfly bushes.

Still have not seen the first monarch of the season here in central Illinois. ?

We have milkweed, Dame's rocket , thistles and several color of aster growig here, some of them in my yard.

That's a bunch!

@farmboy2017 They are all wildflowers here. I have a hard time keeping the neighbors from weedwhacking them, especially the thistles.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
