And yes, it is a very important food source for butterflies. Monarchs, in particular, need milkweed; it is the sole nutritional source for the Monarch caterpillar. If you want butterflies (I do!), plant some butterflyweed, too. It's a larval food for Monarchs.Barnwood Urbanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10446957112474349624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-12314202115782560572010-06-30T14:03:56.255-04:002010-06-30T14:03:56.255-04:00Love your blog, but I think you've got Joe Pye...Love your blog, but I think you've got Joe Pye Weed, not Milkweed.

I'm amazed at how mature your garden...Hi Steve!<br />I'm amazed at how mature your garden is after just two summers! You picked the perfect plants to compliment one another and how charming is that brick pathway! I would love a path through my gardens but then I think about all the work that would entail ~<br />The lillies are beautiful -I've never seen that color before, just the normal bright orange weed variety. <br />I'm anxious to hear what the zoning dept says. You definately need a front porch to compliment the pretty side yard. <br />Enjoy your break and I look forward to seeing the changes you make this summer!<br />Be safe and have fun!<br /><br />SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-42641087935293870172010-06-26T11:45:35.201-04:002010-06-26T11:45:35.201-04:00hi steve,
