#tropicalmilkweed #tuesdayschoice #tropicaltuesday Hi all!

Very pretty

Thank you Katy. I was so pleased that they bloomed @gjones

Gorgeous 😍

👏💋. I was very excited when mine bloomed!

Looking good 👌🏼

Pleasant surprise to get a bloom this year. #tropicalmilkweed #firstyear #grownfromseed #geum

I love these flowers Laura!💘😍

The babies from last year turned out good this year. I was really happy to see them. So now I have 7 or 8 of them. 3 varieties. But we don't get monarchs. If one ever comes by it will be happy @cyndi

Im going to miss first blooms. I don't want to leave the garden but I'm going to take a little vacation. Which we don't do enough of in the USA. Hubby is staying home to take care of all this. He's a good guy. #tropicalmilkweed #fromseed #firstflower #started2016 6.24.18

Ooooooh!! Have a fabulous time Laura!! I'm sure the hubs will do just fine!😉💘😍

have a fun safe trip

Well a break will be nice. Have you instructed him to take take daily photos for you? 😉 you have a lovely time

Enjoy your vacation Laura 👍🏼

Enjoy your vacation! When you return your garden will have grown and be full of new flowers to enjoy!

How nice, Laura. It is hard to leave and miss the special firsts, but it will be fabulous. Enjoy. You man is good to stay and take care of your garden. ❤

How big do these need to be to plant out? Should I pinch back? I hope we have long enough to bloom this summer. We didn't last year. #tropicalmilkweed #milkweed #forthebutterflies 5.11.18

Thank you Cyndi. I'm a little nervous with these. They haven't been easy on me. I am thinking I'll do two groups of them, like you say. Ok out they go and I'll add a little 'love' to the soil around them. Xoxo @cyndi

For the butterflies. These will go in a very sunny spot. I'm so tickled with these. Last year's were a complete fail. Moral of that story is try, try again! That said I still need to plant them in the ground a little later on. #fromseed #tropicalmilkweedbabies #tropicalmilkweed #trytryagain 4.24.2018

For the butterflies! But it's been snowing here at night so it won't be going out very soon. #seedlings #tropicalmilkweed
