I love seeing butterflies take flight for the first time. It would be so amazing if we could make TV one huge butterfly habitat. There are dozens in my yard at any given time..and not just Monarchs.

Plants should also be making seed soon, so I will have lots of seeds available later in the fall.
Is Asclepia the Latin name for Milkweed? I would love to have some....let me know later on when the pods start getting ready. I haven't prepared the ground for plants yet......still working on the inside of the house! but I can always put a few milkweed in among the landscaping....thanks for the offer!
