I planted the milkweed seeds last year. These are the common milkweed, "Asclepius syriaca". They have a tropical appearance, beautiful fragrant flower, and I think if not native / considered a weed, they would be a nursery plant. I planted for bees and butterflies. They were late, coming out of dormancy. I thought they were dead. Then they grew with a burst of vigor.
The American Linden is blooming very nicely. There are pollinating bees, although I have not seen honeybees. The flowers are fragrant.
I planted this tree February, 2013.
Deer damage has occurred, but minimal. I'm a bit surprised, since Linden leaves are considered edible.
