Lee-Roy I love zinnias and plant them every year. I am actually looking for more seeds of those flowers in spite of my husband trying to limit me on how many seed I buy He should just give that up since it never works

Just tell your husband that you could be buying the plants instead of the cheap seeds and show him what that would cost. I would think that would stop him from ever complaining about seeds again.

I'm in Zone 5, and I see most monarch caterpillars feeding on the Common Milkweed. The most common milkweed varieties that I see the butterflies feeding from are the Common Milkweed and Swamp Milkweed. Both nicely fragrant too, so that's an added bonus.
