We had some Green Milkweed (Asclepias viridis) root from pots into the ground last year. Today I was happy to see two healthy Monarch butterfly caterpillars munching on it.

Finally got back to some bird atlasing in PA (& did well and the weather was lovely!), AND got a bonus! Found a new (to us) species of native milkweed (green milkweed) AND it had a monarch caterpillar on it! 🦋😍 #monarchbutterfly #monarchcaterpillar #savethemonarchs #becurious #greenmilkweed

Asclepias hirtella or green milkweed! Found this in a restored prairie Northern Indiana. #Asclepias #GreenMilkweed #nativeplants #prairieplants
