Two volunteer tropical milkweed plants are coming up in my flower garden where parent plants were planted last year. I am guessing they are tropical milkweed plants since that is the only milkweed planted last year. Plants in the greenhouse are slowly breaking the soil. In my area, although I have lots of milkweed plants ready and waiting during the summer,I haven't experienced adults laying eggs until the first of August. Then it is nonstop. Last year I harvested caterpillars and reared more then 75 adults.
