I don't understand how this can be classified as a weed. I don't agree with it.

LOL I think everybody should - we can save the monarchs from extinction.

We have seen absolutely NO monarchs this year. I'm so worried. I have several patches of Asclepias syriacus (the other milkweed) that I've saved from the mowers just for the monarchs...and no luck. Actually we have very few butterflies!... even the little yellow cabbage moths are uncommon. I remember reading, this past spring, about a freak heavy freeze in the mountains where they over-winter... the climate bites!

I've heard that bit of news myself and 80% of them perished. I may have seen only two this year, but I remember seeing them everyday. I hope they can recover. I would love to get a few seeds of Asclepious Syriacus

Definition of a weed...a plant in the wrong place.
