Got Milkweed?
If you grow milkweed in your yard, you probably have some very special tenants, monarch butterflies...

The milkweed is so named for its milky juice, consisting of a latex containing alkaloids and other complex compounds. Carl Linnaeus named the genus for the Greek god of healing, Asciepius. (Photo by Kathy Keatley Garvey)
