You may see a weed sitting there, but I see a Milkweed plant that has a monarch butterfly laying eggs on its leaves. For the past few years we have been allowing milkweed to stay to encourage more monarchs and this is the second isolated plant today I have seen with a butterfly on it. Also, I see about 5 broomsedge plants starting to mature which will add some nice contrast to this area in a few weeks. 75 degree days and 50 degree nights make me excited but things like this are what make it all worth it!
