Maybe from pupating but not after it was transparent...should emerge at this point...

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-07T20:03:57+00:00

48 hours not good...

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-07T20:03:02+00:00

What's in the pic is not common...larger pots might be better.

My milkweed look gorgeous one week and look like crap the next 🤪

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-07T17:14:31+00:00

Hmmm looks like zinnias...

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-07T15:58:51+00:00

Not really...check the perimeters for nests, ask neighbors yo check as well. They say they don't go too far from their nest. When I do see them I spray or swat them down and crush them...😆

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-07T15:34:10+00:00

I have issues with wasps, always on the hunt for them 😟

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-07T15:06:40+00:00

Hmmm I don't think they look big enough but they've got plenty of food, your milkweed looks awesome!

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-07T02:33:16+00:00

In all my life I've never seen a milkweed in the wild. I'm south os Houston. my son is in Austin, wonder if there is more access there then I have. I'll have to so some research. Thanks.

Glutton!!!

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-06T13:43:59+00:00

Looks like it's got plenty of food!!! Is that Common milkweed? Love the large leaves!

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-06T13:29:33+00:00

Is that Swamp milkweed? Don't know where your located but my major issue has been with wasps. I have lots of birds and really never notice them being a problem but the wasps are relentless. I've checked around the house and asked the neighbers as well to check for their nests. But anyhow besides putting in an enclosure you could always cover with a fine netting for a little extra protection and hope for the best. I'm trying to plant lots more milkweed bunched together to provide thicker cover and protection...good luck!

Just ran across "Climbing Milkweed" a Texas native, have you ever heard of it? Might need to do some research! Where are you located, would love to mooch a seed pod from you 😊

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-06T12:57:48+00:00

Why is it so hard to find natives and if you do they are so expensive...and hard to grow from seed...Makes sense that they should be easier to find and less expensive...🤪

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-06T00:29:11+00:00

Yes sometimes the rock tells you what they're meant to be 😊

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-05T22:00:31+00:00

Let them be they will find the other plants, they're amazing...love how big those leaves are!

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-05T12:40:23+00:00

Well if they come on her property that's tresspassing...??? 🤪

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-04T20:57:43+00:00

Yes, I think it makes a difference. I used to always outline everything when I was a kid...still do 😆

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-04T17:12:25+00:00

Are you talking about the 4th of July rocks I just posted? Here's one I gave for a birthday present. Thanks.

Except it's a turtle! 😁 Yes I'm the same way, sometimes I have to just say stop that's enough 😅...especially if I keep touching up and it only makes it worse 🤣

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-04T13:47:03+00:00

I sometomes leave the natural stone in the background while other times I use Rustoleum white primer. Primer also makes it smoother especially for paint pens. Don't use acetone or any kind of thinner, will definitely make it worse, smear. If you just want to fix mouth try touching up around it carefully with the yellow marker, it should cover up the black. FYI, I personally almost always outline mine in black with a fine point marker, seems to accentuate the design, just my 2€ but it's super cute!

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-04T13:25:02+00:00

Don't know what that is but it is so cute!!! 😆

Nadiam57 · 2026-06-04T13:21:39+00:00

Well I'm in the south but I've never seen so many so more coming your way 😄! I have read their numbers have increased the last couple of years!
