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.

You're welcome bright one! I planted them just for you:)

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.

He kept circling me before he landed - I thanked him for giving me plenty of time to grab my camera (phone). -
How Do You Design A #WildlifeCorridor For #Maine Garden Design?
Excerpt:
"Plant Palette: #NativeSpecies and Layering for Maine
Choose plants that are native to your Maine ecoregion and that provide multiple functions: forage, cover, nesting structure, and seasonal continuity.
- Canopy and large trees (plant for future shade and mast): white pine (Pinus strobus), red #maple (Acer rubrum), sugar maple (Acer saccharum), paper birch (Betula papyrifera), red oak (Quercus rubra), balsam fir.
- Small trees and large shrubs (structure and fruit): serviceberry (Amelanchier spp.), crabapple (Malus spp. native selections), chokecherry (Prunus virginiana), witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana).
- Shrubs for berries and cover: highbush #blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), #winterberry holly (Ilex verticillata), highbush #cranberry (Viburnum trilobum), black #chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa), #elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), #bayberry (Morella pensylvanica).
- Herbaceous layer and pollinator plants: common #milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), joe-pye weed (Eutrochium spp.), #asters (Symphyotrichum spp.), #goldenrod (Solidago spp.), mountain mint (Pycnanthemum spp.), columbine (Aquilegia canadensis).
- Groundcover and forest floor: bunchberry (Cornus canadensis), wild ginger (Asarum canadense), sedges (Carex spp.), native ferns where appropriate.
- Wetland edge species for riparian corridors: blueflag iris (Iris versicolor), buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), #sedges, and #NativeRushes.Plant choice should reflect site moisture, sunlight, and soil pH. Avoid ornamental cultivars with little #wildlife value and never plant species known to be invasive in Maine such as Japanese #barberry or #bittersweet."

#Bumblebees along with the #Sweatbees were also digging all the flowering #Milkweed! Some of my neighbors must think I'm mad, but my next door neighbor loves it!

I saw a Queen Butterfly laying eggs on our Milkweed; a few days later the tiny larvae/caterpillars hatched! I painted this for my Perpetual Journal & you can see photos on my recent blog post https://paulaborchardt.substack.com/p/new-teeny-tiny-little-friends
