I planted milkweed in my pollinator's garden a couple of years ago. It now has happy visitors.
The milkweed is absolutely swarming with bees.
I planted the milkweed for the benefit of monarch butterflies. It has been discovered.
I was surprised to see a great spangled fritillary butterfly enjoying the milkweed. There is more than enough milkweed. Welcome! The more the merrier.

Considered as an invasive plant in Sweden, but works well in your garden.
Wonderful, Jack.
Jack, I am always delighted to see pollinators at work, especially the bees. Pollinators, especially bees, provide about one-third of all human food. Bees are threatened, and the U.S. Dept of Ag has just discovered why such a high percentage of bees die every year. It is a virus spread by bee mites.
