The sky may have forgotten to shine today, draping the world in a heavy, slate-gray stillness. But the garden didn't get the memo. Against the muted backdrop of brick and cloud, the roses erupt in a defiant celebration—a cascading fountain of crimson and bright flashes of yellow. They don't need the sunlight; they carry their own fire, turning a dreary afternoon into something unexpectedly vibrant and alive

The Swan Plant (Gomphocarpus physocarpus)
The Swan Plant is best known as the biological engine behind the Monarch butterfly. While often grown for its beauty, it serves a critical ecological purpose in gardens.
Key Features:
The "Swans": The plant gets its name from its distinctive, inflated seed pods. When the stem curves, these pale green, spiky "balloons" resemble a swan floating on water.
The Monarch Host: It is the primary food source for Monarch caterpillars. The caterpillars eat the leaves not just for nutrition, but defense; the plant contains cardiac glycosides, which makes the caterpillars poisonous to predators.
Garden Caution: While beautiful, the plant produces a milky white sap when a stem is broken. This sap is toxic and can be very painful if it gets into your eyes, so it is best handled with gloves, especially around children.
Our newest addition to the garden
