They’re heeeerree, Flower Friends!! Important PSA!: this plant, known by many names (Honeyvine, Milkw**d Vine, what do you call it?), and often considered a w**d - it will grow up other plants, fences, railings etc (and is LOVED by many native pollinators and insects) - is in fact a HOST plant for Monarch butterflies!!
That’s right!! That mean it is one of a handful of plants that Monarch caterpillars can eat. So, before you remove it, please check to be sure there are not eggs or caterpillars on it! And please leave some growing somewhere in your yard / spaces (and DO NOT SPRAY), so that Monarchs have a greater selection of host plants for their babies. ❤️🐛❤️ The flowers do smell sweet 🥰
I am overjoyed to see that the eggs a visiting Monarch deposited about a week ago are now thriving caterpillars…!
Please send protective energy, so that they may survive to make more babies and keep the population thriving ❤️✨🙏🌿🐛🌀
