Some of my common milkweed plants are developing pointy wavy leaves. Does anyone know what causes this? I have noticed that monarchs do not lay eggs on these leaves.

Are these mature plants that have had 'normal' leaves in the past?

Yes, I have had these plants for years. I noticed one or 2 last year, but I have many more this year.
