We shall see.

We have tons of milkweed near me here in SE Mass.if you need some for this upcoming season or need help identifying it, feel free to pm me and I will be happy to help.i still have a few pods from last year.

[Ack]

Swamp milkweed - with the smaller pods - is going to seed but the common milkweed is not yet. It is not as visible from any distance prior to the pods opening.

There's also some up by St. John's Catholic church at 59 and Genesee St. (just west of the Fox on 59)...and in the small industrial park off Center rd

So I came across a bunch of this swamp milkweed while scouting yesterday and threw some in a ziplock. The floaters on this stuff are about half the size of a normal milkweed floater so I imagine it could stay aloft longer....will just be a little tougher to see when it gets out farther. Here's a little more info about it.....
