![]() Nice article Porterbrook. Milkweeds should be a staple in the yard of every wildlife gardener. They are capable of supporting an incredible diversity of life. The book 'Monarch and Milkweed' by Frost is a wonderful way for educators to introduce students to the lifecycle of the monarch.

![]() Hanh mitakuyapi / Hello my relatives. Up here, milkweed is on most counties' "noxious weeds" list. I protect it by having put everything in the name of the church I head, &/or leaning on my blessed Treaty Rights. But I don't have much land under protection, sad to say. I keep working on it, though. Often, such plants are put on the NW list because someone asks the Board to put it there & no one objects when the hearing is held. Notices are often buried in fine print in the middle of other stuff. Now, though, when they see me coming, they figure I'm there to get something delisted. I'm one of those 'terroristic Indn grannies in tenny-mocassins'. I make it a point to sneak into the meetings so no one can look up objections ahead of time. Duwahleh! All this to protect what should already be a protected species. Just gotta do what we gotta do..

![]() Pahinh Winh,
What species of Asclepias grew on your land? And what "Board" are you referring to? Sounds as if you need to educate them about the spiritual, medicinal, and environmental benefits of these plants. Take care, Frank |

![]() I had my traveling caterpillar show at the Ohio Pawpaw Festival on Sunday. A gentleman was doing a plant presentation in the same tent. I heard him say something about milkweeds that grow in the woods. I tried to talk to him about that after the presentation but he had a line of people and I had a line of people too. By the time I was free, he was gone. Funny that a Google search located him and the info I was looking for right here at Wildlife Gardeners.
