Here comes the milkweed! This stuff wanders around a lot in the back of my garden. Easy to pull up, fortunately.

@gjones It is really hit and miss. I’ve had monarch caterpillars on them some years but not others... Nice to hear they’re visiting you! But I’ve had more success with the plants I grow for bees! Can’t wait for my anise hyssop to bloom as it’s constantly swarmed by bees!

This is my favourite stage of the flower, before full bloom.

Help me identify this plant! It's very tall (about five feet), with rigid hollow stems that almost look bamboo-like. #plantid Thanks in advance! 🙂

Asclepias incarnata Princess- swamp milkweed. A precious plant for the monarch butterfly.

Oh that plant should be plenty popular then. Beloved by all nectar loving bugs.
