Bumblebee Flight To Tropical Paradise

I was told by an Illinois bug group that Tropical Milkweed isn't native to the Midwest, and thus couldn't be used in their campaign to save the Monarchs. Perhaps it isn't native -- I'll bet a lot of garden flowers are not -- but it can be found in gardens all over Iowa. It thrives in the Midwest, even if the purity patrol turns up a haughty nose at it.

 

This Bumblebee doesn't care.
