Milkweed, Wild Rose, Owl Clover, Vetch, Yarrow, Monarch: Laudholm Farms<\/p><\/div>
\nI went to Laudholm Farms yesterday in search of bog orchids (and found them) but before I got to the bog I was totally distracted by the meadow at the foot of the hill. Laudholm lets it grow up each year to wildflowers and milkweed…milkweed in particular, to feed the Monarchs. This year it is also full of Wild Rose. <\/p>\n

There is a Day Poem that goes with it:<\/p>\n

Pale pink Milkweed and 
\ndeep pink Wild Rose, 
\nover a carpet of yellow 
\nOwl Clover among the tall 
\ngrasses, touched with 
\npurple Vetch, and crowned 
\nwith heads of white Yarrow…
\nmakes a heady meadow, 
\ntickling some thing high up 
\nin the nose, tempting Monarchs
\nin, as it warms in the early 
\nsun of the last day of June. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As you can see, the Monarch is well worn…very likely a survivor of the round trip to Mexico and back at least once already. <\/p>\n
