Yes, Butterfly Bush is a form of Milkweed.Thanks much all. I just learned the plant is a variety of milkweed. I am used to the common variety with pink and white blooms. Never too old to learn!
They seem to be blooming a bit early here this year. Usually covered with bees and butterflies. Here is one, but did not catch butterflies on it.Thanks for that @traveller777! This might be the first year these have bloomed. I don’t remember any pods before.
