My first year planting natives (USA, PA, 7a).
Wanted to make sure monarchs had host plants to visit, lay eggs on, eat and transform.
Planted swamp, butterfly and common milkweed, and have had 3 chrysalises hatch. It’s so exciting and rewarding, the last one on my bird bath hatched today and is pumping up those wings.

Nice!!!! Thanks for sharing this!
Oh wow! That’s very cool!
We’ve found 21 chrysalis so far this year. 7 of them eclosed, 1 eclosed but didn’t survive.
They sure know how to pick the oddist places.
