I protect my milkweed from the little winter we had so mine has been blooming for about a month now. Blood Flower is the type of milkweed.
I have 3 large plants and several Monarchs layed eggs on each and my plants are all but gone now. I had approx. 40 - 50 caterpillars, but they are now entering their crystallis stage. They are hanging from the siding of the garage, the eaves of the garage and scattered in the general vicinity of the plants. I can locate about a dozen of the crystallis and have numerous caterpillars hanging upside down in their 'J' formation.
