Asclepias tuberosa

6 Orange and yellow #butterflyweeds, #joy4toddhostplants

One of my favorite plants.

@ofthought: Thank you Melissa and I am excited 😊 to care for it. 🤗❤️🦋

Just bagged up my yellow head, it's a small one to make sure I get the seeds.

@ofthought: I will look mine over to see if there are any seeds available, too. 🤗❤️🦋

@ofthought: I am brushing off the aphids off of the leaves 🍃 on my milkweeds plants as it rain ☔️...🤗❤️🦋

Yay! Love natural gardening. @cyndi got me going with some neem oil spraying as there were a variety of issues, but love to be a bug killer. My cat and I are in a competition.lol

@ofthought: You're funny 😁. @cyndi gave you a good recommendation. I am doing a few things first before I try the Neems oil; 1) by brushing the #aphids off of the plants' leaves 🍃, etc. and disposing it in a bottle of water 💦. 2) #DIY-Homemade-Aphid-Garlic-Oil-Spray. 3) Distract/Repel Aphids by planting garlic and onion plants 🌱. I have light aphid infestations on my six milkweeds for now. Well hope that we both have good luck 🍀 preventing the aphid infestations. 🤗❤️🦋
