Year-Long Milkweed Study - Complete!


Our last trip to Yosemite completed our four seasons visits and our year-long milkweed study. I was able to find some winter milkweed and capture a few images to share here on the blog.

  1. Congratulations! I have saved your free printable milkweed study...because I love milkweed...but in all our outdoor hiking, I have found only two spots where it grows. One spot is a neighboring field which was plowed up before I could get to it last spring...and the other is on a nearby highway median, which is a bit too dangerous for observation! So thank you for the link to the milkweed seeds. I am going to order some. :)

  2. Lisa-
    We have planted milkweed twice and both times it ended in disaster. I ended up hunting up a good spot where I knew we could observe. Don't give up...it is an awesome study.

  3. I was talking to a neighbor about milkweed. He's an old-timey Carolina farmer. He looked at me like I was crazy. "We call them weeds. They grow everywhere. We just burn them all down."

    No wonder we don't see many monarchs here!

  4. Milkweed is such a precious asset and it really is just a matter of education on its importance. Besides, it is pretty!
