Upstate South Carolina Milkweed and Bullthistle

[buttonbuck]

I am new to milkweed, hoping someone from the upstate could give me a hint as where to find some on public land to harvest. I've been scouting a lot lately and haven't run into a single plant. Probably just an inexperienced eye.

Also I harvested a good amount of bull thistle lately, seems to have the same properties as milk weed, can anyone verify this?

I'm in Western NY, but I usually find it along roadsides where's there's also drainage there. I haven't been out looking yet but pretty soon. Let me know if you can't find any or if it's hard to find down there, I'll send ya some! It's everywhere here.

I do appreciate it Sir, Ill be in contact if my searches yield no results.

Fellow South Carolinian here. I’ve had no luck finding milkweed in my area either (mid-Carolina). But to emphasize the post above, there are plenty of beasts here willing to be generous and send you a batch. I’ve benefited from several. Another reason to love the Beast!
