Tying to do my little part by planting milkweed and other butterfly loving plants and spreading the word With the help of my garden club. So far a better year with all the rain and wildflowers across the western states!

With your help we can make a difference. Save those milkweeds & plant some more. Milkweeds are sacred on my 4 acres here in Wisconsin. All 4 types. Join us.

Sad news. Insects are not doing well either.

Irreversible extinction? As opposed to reversible ones?

I've noticed a lot of the butterflies in my yard this year are coming out of their cocoons but some can't get one wing to straighten out. It's so sad to see them struggle. I had one come in the house on one of my potted plants that I took in cuz it was going to be below freezing. She went outside the next day when I put the plant outside. Flying all over. Yay!

Of all the species we're losing, this one makes me the saddest.
