I am finally back, and able to get back in the garden this year!
I was wondering if anyone here could help me find a source for the honeyvine, milkweed vine or milkweed vine seeds?

I have wanted this particular plant for years, but unable to locate a source.

I would be unbelievably grateful to anyone who may know where I can get a plant or seeds.

Thanks everyone, and I sure have missed my gardening and am glad to be back!!

Could not get in to my old email account, and had forgotten the password, but figured it out now.

If anyone can help, I would be very thankful.

Hopefully I have something to trade that will make it worth your while.

Thanks again, and thrilled be be back here growing for my butterflies, hummingbirds, and other wildlife!

BTW - Do you remember me, I sure do remember you.
We used to chat way back when!
My gardens got a bit overgrown, and I tried to take care of them, but just could not plant much new.

Adding a link.
Any color is fine for me, not particular at all.

Thanks,

PS glad to hear about that your foot in on the mend, I broke my wrist in 2007 and had terrible wrist/elbow tendonitis in 2009 and couldn't garden for several months each season (the tendonitis was actually worse because I had to rest for months). I just about died and don't know how you made through several years!

Yes, being very much a outside person, the immobility was beyond difficult.
I broke all three cuneiforms, cracked the talus, and the cuboid. Also got the Jones fracture on the little toe, and lost my lisfranc joint.
Not sure how Primacare missed all of that, but guessing it is because they were supposed to take a standing x-ray (where they would have seen all of the bones splay out) and did not.
Finally did make it to my primary Dr. who immediately ordered a MRI (hubby had been out of the country so had no way to get to a specialist prior to this) and by the time I did make it, it was too late to save my lisfranc joint.

I have a pretty high pain tolerance so I did not make a big enough deal out of the swelling and constant blue color. LOL Figured it was a really bad sprain. After all that is what Primacare had said I had.

It was the arthritis and swelling that went on for a few years from the bones basically moving around freely in the foot that killed me.
Though the bones still move, I have pretty much got the pain under control now, using natural methods like ginger oil to keep the arthritis down. I do not take anything prescription for it.
I would say that in the long run, I guess I am better off than if I had surgery and gotten screws anyway. I am doing pretty good!

Mostly pain free - MOSTLY - or who knows, maybe it hurts and I do not know it!
Again, I develop a pretty high pain tolerance.

I am just glad to be out and in the garden again.

I would love some seed, and will let you know for sure if thing do not work out.

Sent an email to bananasinohio but not sure she received it.

Thanks again for the kind offer! I would be totally excited to grow this plant!

Generally speaking, Cynanchum laeve is not the best of all the milkweeds to use as a host plant. I grow it as a backup to my other milkweeds in the event I run out of the others, because the Monarch cats will eat it if there is nothing else available. It pops up all over my yard now, and I pull most of the sprouts since I have a couple now that get pretty big. One is growing up and thru my 15' honeysuckle "tree". The milkweed bugs or beetles (those fat round ones), love to consume it, too, as well as the oleander aphids.

Are you growing or do you have other milkweed available for food?
