Wonderful post, thanks for spreading awareness about the monarchs!

One note for you and anyone else interested: there's been some research indicating that native milkweeds may be better choices in helping sustain monarch populations rather than tropical species, which may disrupt migration patterns. It's not conclusive yet but something to consider - cutting back these Mexican Milkweeds in the winter seems to help.
