This illustrated book is designed as a companion text to
Butterflies in Mind — Perennials and Butterflies in Mind — Asclepias. It provides detailed information about perennials that are known to appeal to adult Monarch butterflies — Danaus plexippus. Over 30,000 images of butterflies nectaring on plants were assembled and examined, and data extracted from them compiled –- the Monarch-related perennial plant data contained in the images is presented in this book. Asclepias, the host plant that is essential to sustain and feed the Monarch insect larvae, has been treated in a separate volume: Butterflies in Mind —Asclepias. The adult Monarchs do feed on nectar, and the nectar perennials that appeal to them are detailed in this book.
