Glad to see you planted some asclepias..a native plant! Many people plant butterfly bushes because they love them for their nectar (which is great), but it has never been explained to most that the butterfly bush hosts zero butterfly larvae. The young won't feed on it. So if we want more butterflies, we have to make more butterflies as my one book says..asclepias being one of the best to plant. Growing native plants is one of the best things you can do for your local ecosystem.
