When I was a lad, there was an empty lot across the street from my elementary school. It was full of milkweed. Tons of milkweed. I used to collect monarch caterpillars with some milkweed and try to grow them into butterflies. But the couple times I tried it, they always wound up dead when I neglected them.
Since milkweed was so common in my childhood, I assumed it was everywhere. But I haven't seen any in years. Maybe it doesn't grow this far south.
