My friend Eric Hutchins sent along this snapshot of his wonderfully lush patch of Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca). He thought I would like to see how beautifully his milkweed has grown from seeds distributed at our milkweed sale several years ago. Thanks so much to Eric, love, love seeing this!
Plant for the pollinators and they will come 🙂

Good Morning Gloucester 
None of my swamp milkweeds sprouted, but I do have flowers on an Asclepius plant that I bought and planted in Woburn. Milkweeds are blooming next to our cottage at Long Beach and the Monarchs and others have been visiting them.
