This page belongs to Wildflower Wonderland, a complete 30-page build, color, and frame collection.
About This Jigsaw Puzzle
A monarch garden is alive with activity as several orange-and-black butterflies hover and settle over clusters of rosy pink milkweed blooms. Below the tall milkweed stems, a neat raised bed holds smaller flowers in yellow, orange, and purple. The sun shines and clouds drift past in a cheerful blue sky, capturing the joy of a butterfly-friendly garden in full swing.
Coloring Tips
Paint the monarch wings in vivid burnt orange with jet-black borders and small white dots. The milkweed flower clusters look richest in a warm rose pink, and the garden bed below pops with a mix of golden yellow, purple, and coral blooms.
Common Questions
Why do monarchs need milkweed?
Monarch butterflies lay their eggs exclusively on milkweed, and the caterpillars eat only milkweed leaves. Planting milkweed is the single most important thing gardeners can do to help monarch populations.
What does milkweed look like?
Common milkweed has oval leaves and rounded clusters of small, star-shaped pink to mauve flowers. It grows 60 to 120 cm tall and spreads by underground roots.
How do I make a monarch butterfly garden?
Plant milkweed as the host plant and add nectar flowers like lantana, coneflower, and zinnia. Avoid pesticides and you will soon see monarchs visiting.
