Wild Flowers of Sleepy Hollow Lake
This is a roadside milkweed waiting for the return of the monarch
butterflies; but alas, they haven't returned this year. We don't know whether it is
the result of spraying for the West Nile Virus or as the result of the killing of more
than 20,000,000 monarchs in Mexico. The monarch butterflies migrate there each fall
and return here in the spring. In any event, it is an environmental disaster.
Since monarchs are believed to return to the areas where their mothers laid their
eggs on the milkweed, it is doubtful if they will return in the near future. | Milkweed | Wild Flowers of SHL:

cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither can we have lasting peace without
love and compassion. It is our hope
and prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a
cruelty-free manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the
animals or our environment. If you would like to contribute a photo to
