These pages are not intended to replace any other websites!
They are not intended to be a study in botany, but are only
images we gathered and things we saw and learned over a four
year quest of finding wild, native milkweed across central
Texas to the coast. The pages and photos may be reproduced
and used only for educational purposes. The pages were
started after we found it so difficult to locate wild, native
milkweeds. We designed the pages to help other teachers,
students, and parents to locate and monitor milkweeds and
monarch larvae during the spring, summer, and fall.
When reproducing, we would appreciate proper credits be
included. Teachers, we designed the pages to print with text
and photos on one page and then hopefully skip to the next
page without much loss. Any errors are ours alone! We lose
pages, lose photos, lose links, and make "misteaks", but hope
the intent and content remain as we wished. This was not a
definitive study and changes are being made almost daily!
Contact us about any errors. Please protect those native
milkweeds! Thank you, good milkweeding, good monarching
from the Texas mid coast.
