The purple milkweed seeds that I collected last year were little. I have some syriaca seed pods that are starting to open. I hope some of the white-flowered syriaca plants I put in the ground will bloom next year. I am tempted to start the polk milkweed seeds under lights. If I do, I should grow more ovalifolia again too. Ovalifolia is getting rarer in Illinois, and the wild populations aren't doing well. My Bald Cypress trees are turning a burnt orange color.
