Hi, Does any have access to seeds of Asclepias ovalifolia? I would love to get some! Thanks, God bless, Jeff

looks very much like a milkweed seedling, probably is. Did you see a small brown oval shaped part before the leaves came out, if so definately a milkweed, not sure what kind. If you live in a southern region, Asclepias Currasivica(tropical milkweed), if in the north, Northern milkweed, possibly but there are other possibilities..

I'm not judging them all. Just the morons who brought over the invasives lol. :) But I still think that they should be more concerned for their natives, but same can be said for the people here too. I am of European decent. We have only been out of the last dark age for like 50 years. About the time we realized we were killing ourselves with all the pollution and eviromental repercussions. Their are native plant lovers in all those countries who are fighting their own battles. So it's pretty much the same everywhere. We have a member who lives in Sumatra and grows plants. It upsets her to see all the jungles plowed and drained for oil palms, but what can 1 person do by themselves. It comes down to teaching the children for the next generation!

Ice Ballet has been around a long time. I had a plant years ago and it did great, until it got tugged out. Maybe yours are having a harder than normal time adjusting. I was planning on having more this year, but the seeds that were winter sowed never germinated. Seems like A. incarnatas are more finicky and problematic than any of the other native milkweeds. I'm trying out a new incarnata variation for next year. Asclepias incarnata var. pulchra. It's beautiful and it has more cardioglycoids than regular incarnata, so it probably won't be ruined by the aphids like straight species incarnatas.
