Congrats! Hope you see more soon. I miss coneflower...it fails horribly this far south with our humidity.

Hopefully your male will find a female and lay some eggs on your milkweed. We've had a male Monarch hanging around here for the past four days. He loves to nectar on the Liatris ligulistylis. I haven't seen him go to other flowers, although he might have. He really loves that liatris! We raised a whole whoppin' three Monarch cats that we found over a month ago. We didn't even notice a Monarch here at the time and so weren't expecting babies, so by the time we found them they were already fairly big. We didn't know if anything would have gotten to them by that time, but all three turned out to be beautiful butterflies, which we released. I sure hope a female comes along and keeps this guy out here company and lays eggs. I have plenty of milkweed for them. Best of luck to you getting eggs! Oh, I'm in central PA, about an hour north of Harrisburg.

Rhonda, don't tell me that about the coneflower, I just saw them at Home Depot. Didn't buy any because I had seeds planted. Another one that might not do well here, but it is so hot and humid-ed here, and we still have to wait for August.

My Monarchs seem to be slowing down now. I don't have as many as I had earlier. Good, so my plants can come back with leaves now. It has been raining here, so the plants are getting needed water. I bought another Giant Milkweed. Hopefully, this one can grow bigger.
