Milkweed seeds

[Trent Watts]

The Milkweed I planted 5 years ago has still not attracted any Monarch Butterflies. This year's seed pods have just started to open and disperse their progeny.
The various techniques plants have developed for spreading their seeds is quite fascinating.

Kinda neat growing your own with this plant so you can almost perfectly time the pod opening.

Hey Trent, hopefully you get Monarchs soon. But in the meantime, it sure looks good!
