Pollinator conservation has focused on monarch butterflies with plantings of milkweeds for their caterpillars or protection of honey bees. This is important conservation work, but we need to broaden our image and work on planting native nectar plants for a variety of species - native bees, wasps, beetles, ants, etc... And in fact in Oklahoma, for more impactful work, we need to focus on fall nectar sources to fuel the migrating monarchs. Here are some of the nectar plants we are growing for our pollinator projects. . . #pollinatorgarden #asclepias #butterflyconservation #beeconservation #pollinatorconservation #pollinators #nectar #verbesina #symphyotrichum #liatris #vernonia

No eggs on my milkweed yet! Next spring we should have a big plot of milkweed beds to watch the spring generation of monarchs develop. . . #asclepias #milkweed #milkweedformonarchs #butterflyconservation #pollinatorgarden #monarchbutterfly
