WANTED does anyone have any swamp milkweed seeds to trade?

Hi,
I would love to have some more swamp milkweed plants this year in my water garden, the Monarchs lay their eggs on it and I collect the larva and raise them inside, then release them. I have 3 plants last year and collected the seeds but place them on the other side of the large pond, and need some for my small one. Please take a look at my list and see if I have anything you would like to trade for, I am hoping to get about 50 seeds.
Thank you, Kathy

Oh, dear, -- I don't have any swamp milkweed seeds, either, but I will bump up this thread in hopes someone sees it...

I know we had a lot of milkweed seeds being traded around last fall and I'm sure someone will have some for you--and probably some eupatorium seeds and other water garden butterfly seeds if you want them--

Also, I noticed somewhere that there is a Butterfly seed round robin or swap going on on one of the other DG forums but I can't find it...if the link turns up for me, I will let you know about it.

That might be a good source to check out too.

I hope next summer we get to see some photos of your monarchs--and I hope you will post some pics of your water garden developments and plantings here--I am sure others would like to know how to attract butterflies to their pond plantings, too...

Take care. t.
