I know how you feel. How can the few I plant possibly benefit the monarchs when so much more than I've added has been lost? But, as others have said, us each adding some is better than none. I'd like to believe that the monarch population will achieve some kind of equilibrium and reach a level where the numbers will be sufficient for the habitat that's available, not unlike American bison, which aren't at the levels they were, pre western expansion.
