Just read this, Asclepias is also known by the common name Milkweed or Butterfly Weed and is a beautiful wildflower and a wonderful plant for your garden. They have fragrant clusters of flowers that are a magnet for butterflies and pollinators too. Monarch butterflies are so beautiful and have a special meaning to me and many others and bees are so very important too. I can see a larger Milkweed Patch being a part of my gardens in the near future!

Have a good weekend and please let me know if you have anything to share!
