Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve been interested in native gardening for several years now, especially to support pollinators. This seems like a picture book for adults, with full page illustrations that are beautiful and labeled with plant parts or other facts, each illustrated page facing a full page of text. Topics include habitat, insects, molds and other parasites, seed distribution, and way more.

There is one section about monarchs, but the star here is milkweeds. �

I love that my #bookspin and #doublespin share similar subject matter! How fun is that? Plus two nonfiction in the same month, I‘m not sure that‘s happened for me before. Thanks Sarah!

Harper @CoffeeNBooks ! This is a perfect housewarming gift, thank you so much! I love it. I often realize forgotten something I need to do before bed while I‘m laying there reading, and the triangle owl book support is the perfect place to rest my book for a moment while I do the things. ðŸ˜�

I look forward to reading the beautiful book as well. 🦋�🌱💚

This was a nice quick read about the milkweed plant and it's place in the American ecosystem. I thought the illustrations were particularly lovely showing the milkweed and the insects that feed on it in various life stages.

The milkweed is a displaced citizen in its own land. Where once it owned the continent, it‘s now a kind of vagrant, occupying the botanical equivalent of homeless encampments.
