California Milkweed is a perennial that likes sunny spots and dry slopes. This cluster grows larger every year and they are just days away from bursting into bloom. When the grass goes completely brown, the gray-green of the extremely drought tolerant milkweed stands out in sharp contrast. Asclepias californica
Many of our milkweed patches are gone - especially along the lakeshore - due to the city's efforts to "beautify" the lakeshore and downtown areas. I've already seen the effects it has had on nature....much fewer monarch butterflies. Such a shame... Kathe @ 06-05-2009
