Plants: The Monarchs lay their eggs on the Common Milkweed in my front yard. I also have Swamp Milkweed and Butterfly Milkweed and Purple Milkweed. The Monarchs are currently using the Liatris/Blazing Star in my yard for their nectar. They also like the cardinal flower and will go to the asters when they start blooming. I have seen more Monarchs this late summer than I have in many years. I am currently raising 10 caterpillars in my kitchen. I have given several to others to try to raise.
