Ironfan you pretty much have all the milkweed larval plants. You need some A. pipevine and passiflora incarnata vines for larval plants too. I saw somewhere here someone had seeds for the incarnata(maypop). Cosmos and penta are nectar favorites. I have red salvia seeds just harvested this week and a few of the coral nymph if you are interested in a trade. I would like some of your pink milkweed seeds and red if it stays red not the red/yellow I have it, also some candle bush but not sure what it is lol. Is that the Cassia Candlabra plant?
