This is one of my first season milkweeds. I foraged the seeds from a nearby plant and got them going indoors and everything. This one in particular got eaten to the ground twice. Both times, it came back as twice as many plants.
One thing I've been learning this year through gardening is that plants are incredible. They have their limits (our sunflowers didn't recover from being repeatedly chomped), but some of them really spring back.

I love old milkweed pods.

Chompie friend is getting bigger! We always leave some #milkweed to grow in our yard -- and it pays off!

A few years ago, I put some swamp #MilkWeed in a little area around our mailbox. Bees love it. Butterflies visit it. But last year we had multiple monarch caterpillars in it.
This morning, our video doorbell was blocked by something. It was a monarch caterpillar hanging out on the camera. When I put it in the milkweed, I found them all over. We've got a chrysalis on our house and 4 more making them. There's at least 15 'pillars in the little ~3'x3' patch.

Swamp Milkweed. The low end of one hayfield doesn’t get hayed. And with no cows grazing, it gets pretty wild. Here, I’m trying to mow along a fence that’s getting lost in the vegetation. The swamp milkweed, though, doesn’t get mowed 🙂

CW: Insect photo - Milkweed bugs
"Oh! What're these bugs absolutely swarming my milkweed seed pods," I ask before heading to the internet for help. "It's
the milkweed bug!" says the internet. At least the name makes sense, lol.I'm not sure if I'm happy to see these guys or not.

Milkweed is so pretty long after the flowers are gone.

First "chompie" of the season sighted in the #CaliforniaFields preserve earlier this week! [Photo taken by hubby]

We have a lot of milkweed plants but haven't seen too many monarch caterpillars. Yesterday though, I spotted a good sized one! #monarch #caterpillar #photography #summer #closeup #milkweed #illinois

My poor milkweed! This is only the second time something has decided to eat my milkweed and it also ate all the flowers off my violas, all the buds on my blanket flowers and the recent growth on my cone flowers. Plus some general attacks on the wildflowers.
Hopefully, someone is learning their lesson about eating milkweed though.

Speaking of #Rewilding, some new signs went up at nearby #CaliforniaFields in Southern #Maine! Looks like the #MaineDepartmentOfInlandFisheries finally acknowledged that there are some #EndangeredSpecies there, and put the pressure on #BlueTriton / #PolandSprings / #BigWater -- who had planted a bunch of pine trees in the field (to hide the drilled wells that they claim are "springs"). But now they have to take them down and restore the grasslands! (And it's full of #Milkweed which the #MonarchButterflies love!)
