While working in the garden this afternoon, I have noticed several varieties of milkweed that have changed from little nubs at the base of the stems to 1-2" stalks with small leaves.
Asclepias incarnata: pink swamp, soulmate, milkmaid, ice ballet, carmine rose, cinderella
Asclepias exaltata: poke
Yet to emerge are Asclepias tuberosa (hello yellow) and Asclepias verticillata (whorled milkweed)
Just in case the monarchs arrive very early this year, I have overwintered several Asclepias curassavica (bloodflower) which are now starting to bloom
Am soooOOoOo excited to be able to welcome the monarchs again this year!
