Thank you
@rocklady, for reading them!
I can't get hybridized milkweed plants to grow either, they never come back the second year. I think the old wild milkweed will grow just about anywhere so, just like you, that's my plan. I haven't seen any growing around here locally so my best bet is to take a trip back to my mountains. I plan to do that if I ever get beyond restricted driving. I can drive any distance with someone but not alone. 400 miles is not a distance I can drive, so Sunshine and I just can't hop in the car and go. Now if she had her own driver's license . . . this isn't because of my heart, it's because I am anemic and having to get infusions fairly often for that. i never know it's even a problem except I become tired and faint a lot. Heck of a problem to have. No warning at all.
You reckon I could get Sunshine to wear overalls and a sunbonnet or straw hat, maybe the license people wouldn't know the difference. Except her legs might not reach. That could be a problem.
