Poor things. <br />I like how you plant the A. linearis not to show off its flowers, but its butterflies!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938196559124125578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316581347076542906.post-850307088626313422010-01-27T15:42:49.802-08:002010-01-27T15:42:49.802-08:00Hello Christine,

We grow Asclepias linearis, which is an unremarkable plant, but the butterflies just love it.Noelle Johnson https://www.blogger.com/profile/12198931083102476324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316581347076542906.post-14616740010573250812010-01-27T15:11:01.041-08:002010-01-27T15:11:01.041-08:00Tree of Life?

I hope your new plants are successful! Deer resistant, and no extra water? I'm tempted too!<br /><br />I see that Tree of Life Nursery has Asclepias speciosa too, although it would require a trip in person as it doesn't seem they do online sales :( I'm visiting a friend in San Diego soon though...so a good excuseCurbstone Valley Farmhttp://curbstonevalley.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
