That time of year

August 28th, 2007 · No Comments

It’s that time of year when the monarch butterflies start thinking about the long migration ahead. Soon the area, and especially Point Pelee National Park will be covered with the creatures as they prepare for the flight to Mexico where they will spend the winter.

They are especially attracted to milkweek which grows plentifully in the area but many gardeners plant Buddleja, also known as “Butterfly Bush” to attract these and other butterflies to their yards.
