Hello


This is a first time for me to ask for a help to identify a plant in
my garden.

Mexican Milkweed, Asclepias curassavica.


thank you for your quick responce.
And now ive found out another names, such as 'bloodflower', 'scarlet
milkweed' for this plant
thru some searching on the net.
i wonder if these names have been also familiar with American people.


I live in the American Southwest and most folks around here call it
Mexican milkweed or Mexican butterfly weed. *In California I purchased
it as tropical milkweed. *It attracts butterflies better than anything.


Thanks for ur sharing.

Here in my veranda ive never seen any butterfly not only upon the
milkweed but also upon any plant i own this year
except little black aunts. Maybe ive been hanging some screens over my
veranda throughout the year, so butterflies and bees couldnt see well
of my butterfly weed.
