milkweed flower
For a while milkweed were getting to be a pretty rare sight in Woolwich Township. For some crazy reason it was on the Waterloo Region list of “noxious weeds.” I’m guessing because the seed fluffs are “messy”.
But then somebody realized if we want Monarch butterflies to pass through, we had better stop eradicating their main staple food. Since then, they’ve been increasing in the area.
Yay.
