The invasion of the milkweed!!

They keep growing and growing!  I had all I could do to keep from posting all the pictures I took.  The growth is so amazing.  The flowers at the end of June were so fragrant and the overhead shots from the house I just can’t believe.  Remember that fence is 5 feet high and they are now about 5 feet above that!  Now where are those Monarchs??

I can’t help myself…


The milkweed plants are amazing!  The fragrance of the flowers fills my living room!  The first picture was taken at eye level and the second was with my camera being held up high.

A sea of milkweed!

Now where are those butterflies?  These pictures were taken facing different directions!
