Date: 07/30/2022

Number: 1

pollinator garden (mostly sun):
9 - mature butterfly weed, most have seed pods and new growth (attached pic is of the area where these grow. reported the same shot in the spring when these first took off)

2 - 2 year old swamp milkweed. growing well but no sign of flowers

5 - common milkweed, in rough shape due to an earlier leaf curl and recent tussock moth cat. feast

4 - spring planted showy milkweed and whorled milkweed (i dont know which is which), growing well but still small

4 - 1 year old purple milkweed -planted many but have lost most, existing plants are tiny, hope next year is better or i'll try to move to different spot

other areas (part sun/part shade mix):
several common milkweed, some stripped by tussock moth cats. none of these grow great (never flower) due to lack of sun

a few other types that i've lost track of. none grow exceptionally well
