Chicagoboyz Like Wildlife in the Garden

1. Lovely

2. Yes.

3. In AZ we have lots of yellows. I haven’t seen a monarch in AZ. Plant milkweed in CA and you get them.

4. I planted some milkweed last year to encourage monarchs, but I thought that all the plants croaked. But a couple of sprouts came up all on their own – I assume that the seeds spread. Frankly, I hope that more come up – I would like to have a semi-wild native garden that encourages bees, butterflies and birds.

5. We’re growing prairie natives (among other things), and my wife thinks she’s spotted 10 varieties of bee in our tiny city lot. Monarch tagging didn’t go so well this year–only about 30. I haven’t seen any for a month–I guess they’ve all flown down to Texas by now.

6. We sent them down a few months ago. Glad to see they made it.

7. We had a few monarchs here, and plenty of bees, but I spotted only one hummingbird all year.
