I did not collect them this year but I will collect the asclepias asperula, or antelope milkweed this coming spring. They are all over my land.

I have tons of tropical milkweed seed (Asclepias curassavica), the red flowered. I behaves as a perennial here in North Texas. If you would send me an SASE, I'll send you a bunch.
Do you have any butterfly host plant seeds to swap?
Just email me & I'll send you my address.
