Well the 2014 Asclepias variegata seed distribution is complete. I sent out 26 packets of seed to folks all over the US and four went to international destinations. Folks from Brazil, New Zealand, Germany, and England were the lucky recipients of those overseas request. I hope everyone does well with this year's seed. I would also like to thank ctnchpr for again supplying these seed. Hopefully next year we will have even more seed but whatever we have will be distributed as in the past. Here's wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and the hopes for a Most Prosperous New Year! Regards, Mark (wildflowerman_2000)

Bigfoot's Botanicals on eCrater. I think he collects the seed from an undeveloped lot he owns in Texas. http://bigfootsbotanicals.ecrater.com/p/17647970/redring-milkweed-asclepias-variegata-rare http://bigfootsbotanicals.ecrater.com/p/28721625/300-redring-milkweed-asclepias-variegata-seeds http://bigfootsbotanicals.ecrater.com/p/16234575/redring-milkweed-asclepias-variegata-rare I bought from him two or three years in a row, and the seed was good. After that the price for the seed was beyond what I would be willing to pay, in addition to I don't plan on growing any more of that species. I live just outside of its native range. Mine flower, but none are ever able to set seed because I have too many insects that eat milkweed, probably because I have so many milkweed species in such a close proximity. Even some insects I did not even know eat milkweed, like one of the blister beetle species. I looked up the links on eCrater and included them here, looks like he is offering a lot of 300 seeds.

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 will post in the seed sharing forum too. I would love to have some of these seeds. I am going to try this winter to start several kinds of milkweeds that will be suitable for my yard so don't have anything to swap. I would be glad to pay if anyone has some. Thanks in advance.
