In Nature's Time... - a photo on Flickriver

            I've tried since the early 1990's to get a Common Milkweed plant to grow in my yard (all three homes I've lived in since). After three years of collecting seeds and seed pods from nature and dispersing said seeds at my present location, I finally spotted a couple of plants emerging in my garden this spring. YAY!

The taller of the two plants - this one - is only about two feet tall.

Last evening, while letting the dog out, I wandered over to admire my handiwork, and look who I found devouring my newly established plants. DOUBLE YAY!!

This little caterpillar was only about 3/8" long. Next time I go out back, I'll try to remember to take my Nikon along. Maybe I'll get lucky and be able to watch this little one grow.

There's just nothing like spotting a Monarch caterpillar in one's yard.
