Last year I raised a number of Monarch, this year I haven't found any.
This is what they feed on around here and today I found these large seed pods, never saw them before.
I did not notice any flowers, but I will watch these pods and try to save some seeds, although I really do not need any more of this vine.
The state of Ohio calls it Honeyvine milkweed, I'm sure it has other names.
