Monarch Butterflies at Vistas at Greenwood Hills
August 7, 2013

The Green Vistas roads are lined with Queen Anne’s Lace plants
This is the first time in 11 years that I have not raised monarch butterflies! The scientists report that this is due to a combination of problems. The droughts in Texas, pesticides & loss of their habitats (milkweed plants) due to building & mowing habits . It is so sad because this is such a beautiful process. If anyone sees a monarch butterfly, let me know. They migrate from central Mexico as far north as Ontario. Canada has not seen 1 butterfly this year :(. Even Greenwood Hills golf course has not seen any. On a lighter note, the Green Vistas roads are lined with beautiful Queen Anne’s Lace plants .. I have a bouquet in my house. When they start to dry, they curl upward & form into a birds nest shape sometimes used in dried flower arrangements. 🙂
