Where did you find seeds for Rose Milkweed? It’s very pretty. I’ve never heard of it. It kind of reminds me of the tropical milkweed I have in my flower bed. I also have common with some Monarch eggs and a few caterpillars. I usually bring them in and raise them in a mesh butterfly house. Had almost 40 last summer. Haven’t started that yet this summer due to a trip to CO I will be taking. After I get back I’ll bring them in. The later Monarchs will be the migration generation to fly to Mexico to overwinter! Love my beautiful Monarchs!! If I could figure out how to post photos on here from my iPhone, I’d post some butterfly pics... Thanks for posting your pic!!!
