Plant mildweeds to help Monarch Butterfly

First two website links in the article are either taken by different company or vacated. I clicked the links to see if I able to get the milkweed seeds.

However I googled and found some sources. Milkweed flowers look beautiful and unique.

I was going to post this as well in hopes that she will get the title changed.

It is a simple typo the "d" is normally typed with the same finger as the "k" but with the other hand.

WDYS may not have seen Botts post as she may have Botts on ignore. And I'm sure she won't see this post either. Maybe she'll see yours and make the change to the title.
 
lovely insect which on decline everywhere in world...I think milk weed not so good to have in UK as I try plant everything for butterfly and bees but milk weed something I don't think encouraged but I may be wrong
 
We have a ton of milkweed on our land. Our yard actually looks "funny" because we've made a point to mow around it so we have random unmowed spots all over. As much as I hate to say it, I think next spring (or maybe at our last mow of this year in the fall) we will probably take most of those random spots down, but this is only on the 1 acre or so that we do mow, there is still a TON of milkweed in the remaining 4 acres we have that we don't mow. We have monarchs every day and I still see the monarch caterpillars.
 
I use to see monarchs in the field behind my condo they're so beautiful , but there an ugly building behind my condo . People tried to keep anything from being build on the land and I did too. I found out that the cottontail rabbits in Ma. are not on the endanger list but the rabbits living in NH are b/c they're losing their habitat at a faster rate. I am seeing less bees and butterflies each year. :(

OMG ! I did post that I went on a nature walk to learn which wild plants were safe to eat . The woman warned us NOT to touch the nettles with our bare hands and I thought it could not be THAT bad . Boy was I wrong! Boy did that hurt.
