Planted a cluster of Plantain-leaved Pussytoes (Antennaria plantaginifolia) last spring, and we saw our yard-first American Lady (Vanessa virginiensis) laying eggs on the foliage and visiting the flowers for nectar.

Pussytoes is one I would like to add to my yard here soon!
Yes!! Have seen some laying eggs in Maryland too!!
I’ve had non-stop Painted Lady visits on my patch of pussytoes. Excited to see a lot of caterpillars this year!
