If possible, I'd also like some seeds from Asclepias californica. I'm growing several different kinds of milk weeds for the monarchs. I'm in California, so it is native to the area.

For anyone who gets seeds, don't forget, this is a perennial, and will likely need the cold treatment in the fridge for many weeks, to simulate winter, before trying to grow them.

I'm just getting started with this, and in three weeks already attracted a monarch, I hadn't seen one in years. I've got about 11 caterpillars now. I'd be willing to trade for other types of seeds, but probably wouldn't have those until next year. I ordered seeds for Heart Leaf, Woolly, narrow leaf, and swamp milkweed, so hopefully next year will have some of my own seeds. But get seeds to DavidLMO and Brian first! Oh, and I agree, don't harm existing plants. I just need seeds. Thanks for anyone that can help.
