The Common Milkweed and Butterfly Weed are in full bloom with the Swamp Milkweed soon to follow. The flowers are busy hubs of activity, full of pollinatiors doing what they do best. Bumble Bees far out number everyone else. The numbers of Milkweed Beetles (below) increases each day. I have seen a few Milkweed Bugs as well. Not too much butterfly action yet, though I have seen countless Cabbage White Butterflies. I have only seen one Swallowtail so far. I continue to anxiously await the return of the Monarchs. My garden is ready for them...so am I!
