Miracle of the Monarch Butterfly
... and Everything Butterflies!
The Monarch Butterfly is fascinating! It is a mystery of nature that enchants both young and old alike.
My interest began several years ago with one monarch butterfly.
Watching the beautiful creature flit around my garden, I observed the flowers on which it landed.
This prompted me to do some research on butterfly garden plants.
What I discovered is that there are two kind of plants to include when gardening for butterflies... butterfly nectar plants and butterfly host plants .
I created a butterfly garden plan which included both of these types of plants.
It wasn't long before... the monarchs arrived!
This led to more research and I decided to try my hand at raising monarchs.
I couldn't believe how easy it was and the miraculous butterfly life cycle captivated me!
