Re: PESO: My Pots of Weed
Dan -- Have to do a bit of advertising here :-) "take me to your milkweed" https://www.cafepress.com/annsanstuff/5685588 The shirt originally said "got milkweed?" but had to be changed because the California Dairy Assoc. pounced (their ad campaign "got milk"was onwhen I first listed the items a few years ago.. sigh. I think I'd still get in trouble if I changed it back. The link above is to my shop listing... the shirt is also in the general marketplace on cafe pressand even though it isn't constant, I do keep making a few sales. I never recognized milkweed in its flowering stage.. its very pretty! - The second photo, even with the frame-clipped leaves is very nice. ann On 6/25/2018 1:32 PM, Daniel J.

Re: PESO: My Pots of Weed
Looks rather different to our Milkweed *(Asclepias*fruticosa) which is the foodplant of local Monarch species. Cannabis is widely grown here - illegally of course.

Re: PESO: Summer Magnolia
Thanks, Henk. We have two older and larger magnolia trees that lack the beautiful foliage of this tree. The others losee all there leaves in late fall, and have many white blossoms in early spring, before the new leaves appear. This specimen retains its leaves all winter, and does not bloom all at once, but has a few blooms at a time from mid-spring through late summer.
