I live in Zone 9b and have purchased about 30 milkweed plants and nectar plants from Joyful Butterfly. My yard is becoming a haven for Monarchs. Found 15 Monarch eggs on the milkweed this week! Several have hatched and are happily munching away. So thankful for quality milkweed to help the Monarchs flourish!
