Swamp Milkweed....


and a Monarch. No doubt that between Common  Milkweed and Swamp Milk the Monarch's far prefer the Swamp variety. One year I grew a load of Tropical Milkweed from seed and they really liked that but in this climate they don't survive the winter. Orange Milkweed is pretty good but being in a woodland they don't seem to do that well. There's several dotted about the yard but they seem to be later in flowering than the Swamp's.
