Comments (3)Yes, Penny, it is a relative in that the caterpillars feed on milkweed. While in Laos, I found caterpillars on the giant milkweed plants. I have photos but need to locate them. There are several different Tigers as Larry's link shows. They are common all over Asia. Hope you had a wonderful time in Viet Nam. I was there 10 years ago, but only in the north. My daughter taught English in a language school. We visited Hanoi, Haiphong, and the highlight was Halong Bay. Sandy...See MoreLoaves-Fishes and Milkweed
Comments (5)Butterflyman, I was wondering how your divisions made it. Starting from seed has been easy for me but I have many people interested in obtaining Milkweed in my area for the Monarchs. It's not a plant which is offered at the local nurseries in our province and since starting to rear Monarchs I have had a lot of inquiries. I also have a plant sale every year and people ask me continuously for some. This would be a great way to propagate them if it worked, and help out the Monarchs in our area. I also, quite by surprise, have been asked to speak to a group of Master Gardeners at the Nova Scotia Agricultural College a few hours away in July. They heard about me raising Monarchs and want to know more. I'm very excited about this. Gosh, I'm not a Master Gardener and am totally self taught with all of the help on this forum... It's going to be an exciting day!! Letting them know plants can be divided would be great. So, how did it go? :O)...See MoreSusanlynne- Still want to try swan milkweed seeds?
Comments (13)I'll have plenty of FN seeds, Hope. The one thing I want everyone to know is that mine came up very, very late in the season. In fact, they were so late, I thought I had lost the plant (which I did, but not the seeds), and I went out and bought 4 more plants! LOL! The seeds that fell on the ground around the plant finally poked up their heads in June! June, no less. Take their own sweet time, that's for sure. But when they did come up, over the month of June, there were lots and lots of seedlings. I now have a very nice patch! Looks like I'm going to have tons and tons of seeds again this year - even more than last year becuase I only had one plant, but this year I have #*$)#(*@% of them. It's nice, though, because you can just tug up an entire seedling and put it in water for the RA's, or put it in a little pot of dirt in the cage. Susan...See Moresharon2079
