kittriana said:A tuberosa, A incarnata are your native milkweeds. A test in the field is their sap is a milky latex and a skin irritant, so be careful not to get the goo on you. Another surefire way to find them is to look for a milkweed bug. I cant send you links - maybe someone can help? Links that is?

Lots of milkweed grows wild here but I haven't seen any monarchs so there 's no guarantee.
