Would love to have some of the seeds, I have a large lot and raised butterflies last year. I only have Butterfly Weed/Asclepias tuberosa to trade. Be glad to do SASE Please let me know,, Thanks, Elaine

Sandy, I've never reported my monarch sightings to Journey North, but I will this year. Last year I not only sighted, but got eggs from a spring monarch, unusual for this area. Congrats on the rain and the sprouting swamp milkweed, especially the rain! And I know what you mean about a prolonged winter with below average temps. After a dry spell and warm temps, we had 1.7" of rain, and it's cloudy and 60 degrees now, dreary, but I was glad for the rain. I knew the rain was coming, so I planted a lot of plants and set out some seeds, which will benefit from the rain. I don't know what butterflies and bees use for a hidey hole, but before we had the cool front, there were bees EVERYWHERE and I saw many butterflies. On this cloudy, cool day, they're practically gone! Sherry

hi...i've been searching for Redring milkweed for some time now, would you expect to have any seeds available, i would be wiling to pay for them and shipping costs as well... or if you happen to know anywhere else that may have them,i would appreciate that information as well. thanks

I'm a serious milkweed collector and I'm trying to grow all the milkweed, ( Asclepias) species that are native to my area, (Illinois). I still have 5 milkweed species that I haven't found seeds for. You all live in different areas of the country. Maybe one of these species that are rare for me are more commin in your area. It doesn't hurt to become familiar with the names of the local milkweeds. These are the milkweeds that I need seeds for. Asclepias amplexicaulis, Asckepias quadrifolia, Asclepias lanuginosa, Asclepias meadii, Asclepias longifolia. Any help would be immensly appreciated, thanks.
