Mad for milkweed.
Monarchs they will be, three.
My good friend of a million years gifted us with trois alchimistes, for as she claims, they will form magic metallic areas on the crysalis which I'm eager to see.
Transformation, on the road to becoming their best selves. Both the butterflies and us. We share a similar journey.
Stay tuned, I'll show you all three soon. Two teens and a toddler, for now anyways. But they poop and eat like milkweed is going out of style, so soon they will move on to the next stage...

Oh, a monarch chrysalis is a beauty of jade and gold. Few things are more beautiful! What a gift to get to watch them. Whenever I plant gardens, I always try to include a bit of milkweed somewhere just to help the monarchs out. Looking forward to watching the transformation with you, darlin'. xoxo Gigi
