Hi everyone, "Journey South" official website has some interesting writing about "helping the Monarch", and other educational articles that we all maybe interested about. It's worthwhile to look at them. Most of all there will be large number of Monarchs will crossing Texas! Woooowooo! I want to be there where the Monarchs are! (wishful thinking at this time of course).

Here in my garden. My first tropical MW seedpod exploded! Yup, it literally burst open. The first 2 pictures are the seeds at close up. Next pic. is the opened seedpod, next pix is, as many of us recognizes the tropical MW flowers cluster. Last but not least, shows a few seedlings escaped into the deck below. These escapees will be carried by wind to location where they will NOT flourish in our zone/weather/temp. in the winter. Thus, growing them in my garden isn't a threat to spread them all over the neighboring area.
