This is the first monarch we’ve seen this season and it laid several eggs on our incarnata. She stuck around for about 10 min and then flew off. My daughter and I are super excited.
Oh man I’m so excited for you and jealous. I’ve been working all season on getting my 20 foot patch with low sun going, should be ready for next year at least! Lots of shade thriving natives and some milkweed that I’ll just hope will get just enough sun.

That’s just lovely! I’m jealous too. My native garden that was planted last year was looking so gorgeous until a tornado came through. Now there’s a huge tree covering the whole garden. The tree people around here have been so behind with all the damage that we’ve been waiting a month for it to be removed.

You are so lucky. We have loads of milkweed and butterfly weed but no monarchs. We live close to Lake Michigan.
