if you live within Common #milkweed #Asclepiassyriaca 's native range, you gotta grow it. For me. Get some seeds. Grow those seeds. Name those seedlings. Look at how different they are from eachother. Look at how different they are from the other plants you can find. Grow their seeds and look how different they are from their parents!!!!!! They have so much individuality!!!! But we're too far south now for them to be native!!!!!!!!
Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) season is here.

Some baby large milkweed bugs I took pictures of on September 16th 2020, in Pennsylvania! I was just going through my tumblr blog and looking for more old pictures I haven't put on iNaturalist yet :)

They came to the common milkweed in our yard there for the two(?) years since I noticed it and let it grow. I always loved watching them, I called them my babies :)
