Milkweed and the Monarch - Creating the Ultimate Butterfly Habitat

Milkweed and the Monarch’s


The iconic black and orange Monarch butterfly is probably the most familiar butterfly across all North/South America; the monarch is considered an iconic pollinator, and of course, we can’t forget about the pure beauty that these butterflies bring into our lives. Well, the good news is that we don’t need to go chasing butterflies because adding certain plants in your garden will definitely attract these beautiful creatures right to you – we offer everything you need to create the perfect butterfly habitat here at Ricardo’s Nursery in Long Beach!

The Monarch caterpillar has only ONE food source – the milkweed plant. Unlike the sound of its name, it is not a weed. It’s a beautiful and colorful spray of orange, yellow, red, and white flowers. Milkweed contains a toxin in their milky sap that the Monarch caterpillar consumes as it munches through the leaves. On average, the hungry caterpillars will consume 20+ leaves from the milkweed plant before they begin metamorphosis (the process of changing from caterpillar to butterfly). A predator that does decide to eat a Monarch will likely never do that
again after eating their toxin filled body.

As a perennial, the Milkweed plant will come back every year, even through harsh winter conditions. Milkweed is typically the preferred host plant for the monarch butterfly. However, after becoming a butterfly, the monarch has a much more varied diet. It starts out extracting the nectar from the milkweed flowers, but butterflies consume nectar from many different plants including annuals or perennials like: coneflowers, impatiens, marigolds, sunflowers, or chrysanthemums, daisies, sedum and yarrow. Wildflowers like bergamots or horsemints, black-eyed Susan, blazing stars, and butterfly flower are all great!

Adult monarch butterflies even like to feed from fruits like banana, oranges and watermelon. However, the milkweed plant is the only plant that the Monarch butterflies will lay their eggs as they migrate across North and South America waiting for the next generation of Monarchs to take their place. The milkweed plant provides all the nourishment to transform the Monarch caterpillar into the adult butterfly. But these plants are rapidly disappearing, due to the loss of habitat stemming from land development and the widespread spraying of weed killer on the fields where they live. So, let’s work together to save the butterfly habitat – It’s easy to grow your own Milkweed!

    I’m retired, and like many people my age, I wanted to find a way to make my savings last longer and maybe grow a little. I’d heard so much about Bitcoin and how it was the future, so when I came across an ‘investment opportunity’ that looked professional and trustworthy, I thought I’d give it a try. At first, everything seemed fine. The account they set up for me showed profits increasing, and they even allowed me to make a small withdrawal in the beginning. That made me feel confident, so I invested more of my retirement funds. But when I tried to take out a larger amount, everything went silent. Suddenly, I couldn’t log in, and my emails went unanswered. That’s when I realized I had been scammed. The feeling was devastating. This wasn’t just money, it was part of the savings I had worked my entire life for. I felt foolish, embarrassed, and very alone. Every article I read said the same thing: once Bitcoin is gone, it can’t be recovered. I thought I had to accept the loss and move on, even though it weighed heavily on me. Then I learned about GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. At first, I was hesitant, after being scammed once, I wasn’t sure I could trust anyone again. But from the very first conversation, they treated me with kindness and respect. They didn’t make me feel judged, and they explained the process in a way I could understand. I gave them all the details I had, transaction IDs, wallet addresses, and emails from the scammers. They went to work right away and kept me updated every step of the way. Weeks later, they achieved what I thought was impossible: they recovered a significant portion of my stolen Bitcoin and returned it to me safely. I cannot describe the relief I felt. Knowing that I hadn’t completely lost those funds gave me back peace of mind and restored some of the security I need in retirement. I will forever be grateful to GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. They gave me back not only my money but also my confidence. If you’ve been scammed, no matter your age, please don’t give up hope. I thought I had lost everything for good, but recovery is possible, and I’m proof of it.
