Smorgasbord Posts from Your Archives 2022 – ‘Potluck’ – #Monarchs in My Garden by Miriam Hurdle
I’m over at Sally Cronin’s amazing Smorgasbord Magazine. She featured my post about the monarchs in my garden. Please join me to view this wonderful creature. There is no time like this to help the monarchs survive when, on July 21, 2022, The International Union for the Conservation of Nature added the migrating monarch butterfly for the first time to its “red list” of threatened species and categorized it as “endangered” — two steps from extinct.
Since this series began in January 2018 there have been over 1000 Posts from Your Archives where bloggers have taken the opportunity to share posts to a new audience… mine.
The topics have ranged from travel, childhood, recipes, history, family and the most recent series was #PotLuck where I shared a random selection of different topics. This series is along the same lines… but is a ‘Lucky Dip’. I have posts scheduled for another few weeks but that will bring this current series to an end. Another series will begin in the new year.
In this series I will be sharing posts from the half of 2022
Today author and poet Miriam Hurdle shares the wonder of enabling the beautiful monarch butterfly to develop in her garden in amazing photographs and videos

I’m all about Milkweed for Monarchs and I adore your post. Your photos are great. This last week we found our 15th caterpillar of the year on the milkweed. We’re doing what can for the Monarchs.
