We don't have the monarchs here. We do get these every once and awhile

They're late this year (we've had weird late hot weather and higher winds that have held them up). See this website, so interesting...

There were a lot of efforts this year to plant and distribute milkweed for them...

I'll have to check that out. We want to plant a milkweed patch for them here also. We can find milkweed wild here but not a lot. We want to attract them to our yard. We watched a documentary with the kids on them this summer. It's really neat how they tag them.

141 days, 14 hours, 34 minutes, and 47 seconds until set date...

I missed it - why do you have to wait?

I'm not sure but the silkies are good setters. At least mine were.
