Marie KungOne #monarch visited this morning. Alas, the butterfly milkweed is not ready yet. (Pictured: #JoePyeWeed, #StiffGoldenrod, #ButterflyMilkweed, #CommonMountainMint) #NativePlants #NorthernIllinois #gardening
Another comparison:
May 7, 2022 vs May 7, 2023 (different angles though) #JoePyeWeed #StiffGoldenrod #ShowyGoldenrod #MountainMint
These are now 4 years old and should be bigger but #NorthernIllinois is definitely ahead of last year. (The Showy Goldenrod may be a no show due to human misunderstanding. ☹️) #Zone5b #gardening #NativePlants
