Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa) earns its name every summer when monarchs, swallowtails, and a parade of pollinators descend on its clusters of vivid orange flowers. This native milkweed species, sometimes called Orange Milkweed or Pleurisy Root, is one of the showiest wildflowers you can grow and one of the most important for supporting butterfly populations.

A Pollinator Powerhouse

Unlike its aggressive cousin Common Milkweed, Butterfly Weed stays in a tidy clump, reaching just 1-2 feet tall and wide. From early summer through late summer, flat-topped clusters of brilliant orange blooms create a landing pad for butterflies and serve as a critical nectar source. For monarch butterflies specifically, this plant is more than just a food source: it's a host plant where monarchs lay their eggs and caterpillars feed on the foliage as they develop.

Built for Tough Conditions

Butterfly Weed thrives where other perennials struggle. Its deep taproot, which can extend several feet into the soil, allows it to access moisture during droughts and survive in lean, rocky, or sandy soils. Once established after the first season, this plant requires virtually no maintenance. It tolerates heat, humidity, and neglect with equal grace. The trade-off for this toughness is patience: Butterfly Weed emerges late in spring, often weeks after other perennials have leafed out, and takes a full season to establish its root system before putting on its best show.

Landscape Uses

Plant Butterfly Weed in native gardens, prairie-style borders, rock gardens, or xeriscapes where its drought tolerance shines. The orange blooms combine beautifully with purple coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, and ornamental grasses. Mass plantings create a dramatic ribbon of color that draws pollinators from across the neighborhood. This plant also works in meadow plantings or naturalized areas where its self-seeding habit is welcome rather than a nuisance.

Four-Season Interest

Beyond the showy summer blooms, Butterfly Weed offers ornamental seed pods in fall that split open to release silky-tufted seeds. These pods add texture to the late-season garden and provide food for goldfinches and other seed-eating birds. The foliage may develop russet tones before dying back completely in winter. Leave the stems standing through winter for structural interest and cut back in early spring before new growth emerges.

Why This Plant Belongs in Your Garden

If you care about supporting pollinators, especially threatened monarch butterflies, Butterfly Weed is essential. It provides both nectar for adult butterflies and foliage for monarch caterpillars, making it a complete life-cycle plant. The fact that it requires zero fertilizer, minimal water after establishment, and no pest management makes it one of the easiest native perennials you can grow. Deer and rabbits leave it alone, and once that taproot is down, this plant will return reliably for decades.

Great Comic
Format: Kindle
Wolverine is one of my favorite Marvel characters. He encapsulates the paradox for young adolescent boys. He’s everything we wish to be, and at the same time, everything we would be terrified to be.

A huge book that gives you the hero's beginnings.
Format: Hardcover
I own several Marvel Omnibus collections (Captain America, Miller's Daredevil run, etc) but I have to say I think this one is the biggest in terms of thickness. This has a serious page count, and is definitely worth the money you spend on it for size alone. Those coming off the Wolverine movie and interested in more of his back-story will enjoy most of this. The stories here are not put together in chronological order of publication, but rather in chronological order of when it supposedly happened in his life. That being said, it's odd that Marvel chose to leave out "Origin", since that six-part story would have made an obvious choice for the beginning of this collection. Instead, we start out with a number of "Weapon X" stories that are supposed to set the stage for his creation into a weapon. The stories are not easy to follow for a casual read, however. You'll have to invest time reading dozens of dialogue balloons over the constantly-resting pose of Logan with wires coming out of him. Not the best start they could have hoped for, but I can see the logic of it. The Wolverine/Kitty Pryde miniseries is also here for some reason. I guess its inclusion into the collection is for completist purposes, but it's not that great. Eventually, you reach the Frank Miller Wolverine mini-series that started it all and paved the way for his solo series later on. If you've read that one, you know it's a classic as we get more back story into his Samurai/Ninja training past (and it's also rumored to be the basis for the second Wolverine solo film if it gets made). This leads into the first 10 issues of his solo series as we meet Logan's "Patch" identity, his weird black "facepaint mask" costume, and the dark dealings of Madripor. The colors here are rich and vibrant. Those who were disappointed with the washed-out look of the "Essentials" collection of Wolverine stuff will find nothing but happiness here. The price is reasonable for what you're getting here. Let me say again though that this is a MONSTER of a book, so you won't be carrying this around for a casual read at the coffee shop. This is more along the lines of a serious collector book than those Essential volumes.

A bloody walk down memory lane.
Format: Hardcover
This massive volume collects all of Wolverine's earliest stories from his very violent history. Instead of being collected chronologically in order of first appearance, this book tells Logan's painful story as it happened to him. Beginning with Marvel Comics Presents #1-10; we see the excruciating process that turned him into Weapon X. After that, it's his first appearance in Incredible Hulk #180-182. That's followed up by the classic 4-issue Chris Claremont/ Frank Miller miniseries, and X-Men #172-173. We also Kitty Pryde and Wolverine #1-6, Captain America annual 8, Spider-Man vs. Wolverine, Punisher War Journal 6-7 and Wolverine #1-10, amongst others. This book is currently out of print, so good luck finding a copy. If you track one down, expect to pay a pretty penny for it, as I did. As a Wolverine fan, however, this is a must-have collection

Excellent book
Came ASPA good thing to, I wanted to read vol 1 before vol 2 drops. This book doesn’t disappoint if your fan of X-men, Wolverine, or even the Hulk it includes almost everything about the character his origin story to his first appearance. Most marvel omnibus are thick books and for price I paid it did not let me down.
