Milkweed is so important for the survival of Monarch butterflies. It is the only plant that Monarch larva will eat. No Milkweed=No Monarchs.
I am making seed packets as gifts for my friends baby shower guests. It is not easy to separate that fluffy parachute from the seed. My cat had a great time chasing the fluff all around the cabin.lol.
What a clever idea for a baby shower. I tried harvesting the seeds one year, but they didn't grow the following year. Will have to do some more reading. Lovely pictures
Great idea to give the seeds as gifts! We have some milkweed plants in our garden.
I've missed a bunch, trying to catch up!
