I've never collected milkweed seed, but those sound like great ideas, guys.
Hmm...I do have pictures of my plants scattered in the database, but I suppose I could take more. My garden isn't "pretty" or structured like a lot of the ones I see in the multi-plant photos and I have tons of weeds so I guess I'm a little shy about posting things other than up-close photos of the leaves and such. I will try to remember to take pictures of the plants before I go looking for caterpillars. And I will also remember to charge my battery for my camera. So many things to remember!
