Milkweed blossoms


Milkweed blossoms

The Milkweed plant plays an important role in the life cycle of the Monarch butterflies!
It's very important that these plants be allowed to grow wherever they can. The beautiful Monarch butterfly is becoming an endangered species and needs our help! So if you have Milkweed growing anywhere near your house or even on the sides of the roads in your neighborhoods, please protect these plants! If the county wants to cut weeds on the sides of the roads, you might want to transplant the plants when they're young into your yards! If we all work together to save this plant, we will be able to increase the Monarch butterfly population!

About Me

My photo
I can be very social, but then a recluse. I like my privacy when I'm working in my flower garden. I like to meditate there with God and the birds and the flowers. I love animals, all God's creatures and I can't stand people that abuse them! I strongly urge anyone that wants a pet to adopt from your local animal shelter. There are many loving animals that are at shelters waiting for a loving home. You can find me most of the time on Flickr where I have a photostream!
