Some of the Butterfly Weed in bloom I saw today at Oudolf Garden Detroit at Belle Isle State Park.

@joewynne thanks! I had some not too far from there, but none of the patches I planted last year show any signs of life :/ That would look more scraggly.

Planted some Butterfly Weed and turned around to see Twix sniffing it, like she was asking "do those little flighty things REALLY like this stuff?"

Makes me wonder what's in it that attracts, because this was the first time I saw her really examining plants beyond the catnip.

Looking forward to this year’s , and my seed babies are thriving. Learned my lesson from prior years so I’m keeping them well-protected from the local fauna until they can stand on their own. Big boys are mammoth , little fellas are .

It's good luck to clean seeds on New Year's Day, according to an ancient tradition I just made up. I prefer a dry breezy day for milkweed seed de-fluffing, so as to let the fluffs disperse themselves, instead of sticking to every damp surface as they did today. But if I don't adhere to my own made-up traditions, who will?

Veronica spicata "Red Fox" - Spike Speedwell
Asclepias tuberosa - Butterfly Weed (milkweed)

I manage what is technically a pollinator garden in my area, but everyone calls it "The Butterfly Garden." In addition to flora chosen to reflect our status as a Monarch Waystation, we are committed to native plant selections that encourage ALL butterflies and moths (we have 200+ species in our area), bees and other beneficial insects, and of course, birds.

This photo shows some of our Red Fox Veronica with Butterfly Weed in the background. Can you spot the bee?
