I'd been wondering which native milkweeds to grow as I'm not sure what the climate will demand in terms of hardiness. I like Asclepias subulata & may still plant some & hope it makes it through winter. But it's grand to find this one arriving on its own.
Asclepias subulata Asclepias subulata Decne. Rush Milkweed, Desert Milkweed, Ajamete https://t.co/tXCYgox6Jg
You ever meet someone and they change the way you look at the world? Well anyway here are some oleander aphids (Aphis nerii) on desert milkweed (Asclepias subulata) @tobiaszuest Disclaimer: these are the only aphids I can ID by sight! But I *can* ID them https://t.co/F4rUT3tsx3
