Hello Mrs_Ed,

I don't know where those violets are around here...it just stopped by to nectar. Although we have lots of host plants, we don't have room in our small backyard for all of them. thankfully we still get migrants of various species we don't have host plants for...like this Gulf Fritillary with a broken wing passing by last month...

We have 8 Milkweed plants...the 4 swamp are huge...2 pink and 2 white...we have 2 Bloodflower and 2 Asclepias tuberosa. It has been amazing here with Monarchs...dispite the hardship they had last winter with the storms in Mexico, and the millions that died...many experts say between 1/3-1/2 of the population was lost...we have had 17 Monarchs compared to 9 by this time last year. We feel blessed! Hopefully they will rebound without any problems :)
