Pictures Of Milkweed

Postby yngfireman » Mon Apr 25, 2011 4:52 pm

I live in Central North Carolina and I am in search of wild milkweed. I've tried growing without luck, so if someone has pictures or knows of links to show what milkweed looks like this time of year(spring). Also what time frame should I keep an eye out for eggs on these milkweed leaves. Any help would be greatly app. Thank you :D

This is what my milkweed looks like. This is common milkweed, but yours is probably taller.

This is swamp milkweed.

This is Monarch Watch, Milkweed, but most of the pictures are more mature:
