We now have tens of thousands of Asclepias asperula on our place. They grow low, so humans don't notice until they look, or until plants get larger.

This is a picture of 50 surveyor flags one per milkweed until all placed. Picture includes a couple insets of closer views of plants. 50 flags covered an oval of 680 sq ft. That's equivalent density to over 3000 per acre.

Some plants are already larger than those in this sample. In two weeks there will be many flower covered mounds a yard wide.
