Nice images. I’m envious.
I’m in the same boat with johnohio. Saw the last Monarch here on September 14 and will not see one here again until mid-July.
What if you spend time at plant nurseries near you and ask questions? You can find the ideal plant(s). I started my small wildflower garden in 2014 and I still ask questions at the nurseries.

Robert, Thanks for the comment. I don't know very much about all this, but I do know that one of our neighbors down the street has a patch of 'Gregg's Mistflower' in his front yard and about twice a year those are flush with Monarchs. I've just been too lazy to get out and plant some -- it's on my 'roundtuit' list.

Glad they are still alive in Texas. Most of the Monarch butterfly populations in California have been decimated with the loss of milkweed and the increased use of neonicotinoids by farmers in the USA.
