I will most definitely do so. Some of my swamp mw has already started the seed pods so any day for them.

I actually am wanting milkweed. I bought some off ebay but they only sent ten seeds. I gave some to someone and now none of my seeds germinated.

What kind tuberosa
incaranata
cynachieum
syrica any here later this year ...

I am looking for milkweed. Please email if interested in trading.

Thanks

I would plant some if I had the seeds. I have the room, just not the seeds.

Ill be more than happy to spread the wealth of swamp and tropical milkweed to y'all when they are ready.

I took over a local park flower garden that was neglected. These all came up volunteer. The seeds aren't ready yet, but I"ll have tons of seed and will be willing to share. Contact me in about 6-8 weeks. The sad thing is that I have only seen about 3 butterflies all summer of any kind. With all the milkweed I thought I'd see butterflies all the time. It's so sad.
I really really want a butterfly weed plant or seeds. I can't seem to get seeds to grow, but I keep trying. Maybe someone will trade with me!

Heidi, those milkweeds of yours are beautiful!! I have butterflyweed (Asclepias tuberosa) and can send you some seeds this year :)

Hmm, maybe we should start a "Milkweed seeds Adoption" thread. Gardeners who have no milkweed, but would like to grow some for butterflies could post in the thread to show interest. Volunteers with extra milkweed seeds could be paired up according to species suitability to hardiness zones. What do you think, Martha? I would be willing to host, and run it through the fall.

i have some milkweed to share. sorry to say it has been sitting in my seed box, i meant to plant it but havent gotten around to it.

anyone who wants it let me know.

beautiful photo, xiangirl - we have a similar milkweed growing right at the corner of the garden - DD put a big purple bucket right beside it so her DH wouldn't cut it down. He mowed down a big patch out in one of the pastures early on - thought he was going to lose his happy home for a while, but we found other stands so he was safe. I'm new to these forums & am having a ball reading all the posts. We haven't seen a lot of butterflies close to the house, but there is a patch of wildflowers out near the woods that they are just thick on when we take a tractor ride out there.

Hi folks,
I started an "Adopt a Milkweed Newbie" thread in the seed exchange. Please consider joining. The monarchs need all the support they can get.

Here is a link that might be useful: Adopt a Milkweed Newbie

I have some Milk Weed seeds available. They were harvested from my butterfly garden. Let me know what you have for trade...

I started with one plant and now have a massive amount. E-mail me and the seeds are yours for postage paid envelope. My pods are getting ready and since most people consider milkweed a week, I have had to get rid of many now before they burst. Neighbors not happy. So let me know.
