Welcome to a section of my garden where I released six monarch butterflies in the middle of a sea of blanket flowers.
The monarch butterflies are having a great March and April. There has been a lot of activity in the garden – eggs being laid, caterpillars chomping away.
Here’s the first, of a few monarch butterflies to emerge in the butterfly house.

Today there were 5 monarch butterflies that emerged, one orange barred sulphur, and the star of the day, the polydamas swallowtail. The polydamas chrysalsis has been in the butterfly house since late last year.
More monarchs – 8 – released today from the butterfly house. Some were eager to fly free, while others I put on a tree branch giving them the chance to fly away when ready.
More monarch butterflies have either emerged, or nearing their entrance this morning in the butterfly house.
