Monarch caterpillar on Milkweed and blue lobelia in bloom

[@migueloros891]

Gosh such a beautiful garden would love an update on it:)

Great video, great plants! When you're looking at the big monarch cat, there was another smaller one right below it happily wiggling around - you can see it really well from 1:28 - 1:45 just below the big fella - again, what great plants!

How long did it take for you to get caterpillars on your milkweed?

[@ferg2914]

Lovely garden! Really is coming into its own.

[@Jem544]

Thanks you. Appreciate the kind words ☺️

Northeastern native plant digest And I too check in on my garden every day. Otherwise, you really are missing out! I appreciate seeing the plant changes day to day and also seem to discover a new type of critter visiting.

Is that Rudbeckia hirta?

[@Jem544]

Hi. Thanks for the comment. It's Butterfly weed ( Asclepias tuberosa). Wonderful plants

[@staceygianoplos6381]

@@Jem544 Actually, was inquiring about the black eyed susan. Is it hirta or fulgida?

[@Jem544]

@@staceygianoplos6381 sorry about that..lol. I believe they are hirta

Can’t wait until the lead plants I set out get that big. I know their first year they are getting roots established and will look better the 2nd year and beyond.

The payoff is worth the wait. Thanks for the comment.
