For everyone out there who thinks I don't know that their Asclepias "Tuberosa" is actually Asclepias Curassavica... I know. And the butterflies know.
A (Orange?) Sulphur #Butterfly found the Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa). The Monarchs still prefer the much larger Common Milkweed. https://t.co/dATNQzqnww
Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa) brings in the Monarchs. Perhaps this female will lay her eggs on one of them. #pollinatorsandflowers #pollinatorgarden #hostplants #backyardhabitat @ Erie County, New York https://t.co/RSuSHYoFQI

@juliecheka Shade can be tough. We're lucky to have mostly sun here and in the last year or so planted for the hummingbirds/bees some salvia, lantana, veronica, lobelia cardinalis, asclepias tuberosa, monarda, crocosmia and a lonicera sempervirens that's now getting out of hand.
Speaking of milkweed, I think I spy some buds on my asclepias tuberosa https://t.co/iq2YLR1DLK
@kare11 I just wanted to share, that I've never had so many Monarch Caterpillars in my butterfly garden. Seen here on my Asclepias Tuberosa (Butterfly weed) https://t.co/NwbBaFVgKn

@mccoshsm Asclepias tuberosa
@austinlouisray Damn, that’s dope. Asclepias incarnata and asclepias verticillata seem to be most effective. Asclepias tuberosa is very common (bc it looks cool) but it’s a secondary choice of monarchs & I’ve never seen caterpillars on it. Growers Outles and GPC Botanic Garden are key sources.

@CollinYourbs @AnneWheaton @SchmoopyWoopy I think it’s called butterfly milkweed. Asclepias tuberosa. Great for butterflies all year long.
@cdubgma @RockyMountViews I have milkweed, and I let it go, and get tons of butterflies when they bloom. Asclepias Tuberosa, the old fashioned kind. The scent is sublime. It's weedy, but not obnoxiously so.
Nursery haul today~ impatiens, Missouri primrose, purple penstemon, blue flax, some sort of kalanchoe, red salvia, sapphire lobelia, agastache sunrise, blanket flower, asclepias tuberosa https://t.co/uPsONrNzBM
I hope it actually is butterflyweed and not tropical!! I swear the scientific name was "Asclepias TUBEROSA" on the seed packet when i bought them And then it died back during rhe winter so im REALLY hoping its a Native Milkweed
Asclepias tuberosa, the Butterfly Weed. https://t.co/m7j1LLro9S
#TipTuesday Consider planting butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa) instead of butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii). The butterfly weed, a species of milkweed, is native to eastern North America and provides sustenance for the Monarch butterfly. https://t.co/rggNf9wTKb
A monarch butterfly feeding on our butterfly weed, asclepias tuberosa. We never got any caterpillars on this plant last year, but we had quite a few on the common milkweed. #monarch #milkweed #nature #NaturePhotography #butterfly https://t.co/DHtmeABjqj
NOVENA PREGUNTA: CIENCIA ¿Para qué sirve el bálsamo de Asclepias tuberosa? a. Para aliviar dolores b. Para adelgazar c. Para manipular gente d. Para proteger como capa protectora
@SmackeyCracks I don't see just the color. I see pollinator power, especially with the Asclepias tuberosa (Butterflyweed) and the Indian Blanket (high nectar source). Butterflies and bees approve.
