Gorgeous! What type of milkweed is that?

How huge!
I'll ask, too - what type of MW is it?

Is it common mw? Mine gets at least 5' tall if left alone.

Sorry for the delay.Yes they are common milkweeds,Asclepias syriaca.I usually gather the eggs as fast as the monarchs lay them,but the ones I miss seldom make it past the first instar.I think ants and spiders get them when they're tiny,and wasps when they're a bit bigger.

It is Common Milkweed. Asclepias Syriaca.

I have the same stuff. I can never find any cats on it.

That is the type where I saw a monarch lay eggs and a hummingbird right behind her eating them!

There are always wasps and whatever hunting around the leaves.

Totally forgot about this gallery!
Schgo,I've never heard of a hummingbird eating monarch eggs.Fascinating!
