My butterfly weeds were crawling with different bees this morning.

This plant is gorgeous! Glad the pollinators are happy too.

It's very good at self seeding, so I started with two and now I have lots.

They aren't the most cooperative photography subjects for group photos, but I'm pretty sure I saw bumblebees, honey bees, and small carpenter bees.

Omg your username is Asclepias?! Perfect. Have you got any monarchs? I have the same variety it’s two years old still haven’t had a monarch on it.

Not yet, but I'm expecting them soon in North Jersey. They prefer my swamp milkweed, but I don't have great conditions for it so it's not very big.
