Overview

Did you know Milkweed saved our soldiers in WWII? How about the fact that Milkweed was used as chewing gum by the Native Americans (Although I wouldn't recommend it, as it can be extremely poisonous.) Milkweed is being used as a filler in clothing to keep us warm. Does this surprise you? Were you aware that experts have cleansed oil spills in the ocean using Milkweed? Do you know of an insect that will protect your Milkweed, yet it looks like a dragon? The same insect is one of the most beloved insects in the entire world. Another insect will attack your Milkweed that gives birth to live young that are all female. What are they? Some Milkweed species grow to be one foot tall, and other species grow to be ten feet tall. From green to white flowers, purple to orange, and everything in between, the Milkweed is one of our most marvelous plants. Some have compared it to Orchards in its complexity, wonder, and beauty. Milkweed is home and haven for Butterflies worldwide, and this is about what we have in the United States, including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. It plays an essential part in the migration of the world's favorite Butterfly, the Monarch that travels all over the country. It also attracts many other creatures, including many Bees, Hummingbirds, and many other species. It also provides a great addition to your home and yard and makes a great hobby for adults and children. This book has all kinds of information on Milkweed; some you will find indispensable for raising it. Still more, you will discover just enjoyable to read. If you are a weekend gardener or someone serious about looking after the Monarch, or any other butterflies, this book will be indispensable to you.

If you would like to see pictures of the plants that don't have them, they are readily available on the internet. If there is a question about Milkweed, you'll probably find the answer here.
