@jasongross42416 ай бұрын
If that's true then why does currasavica like water and tuberosa does not?
@Erewhon20246 ай бұрын
@jasongross4241 He did not mention water in connection to the Asclepias (but rather as a requirement of the animal wildlife), nor even describe his cultural practices for the species (though the pictures do reveal it likes sun). My ID was based on the appearance of the plants (foliage, flowers with a crown that is a different color than the petals; also, it seemed popular with caterpillars [female monarchs usually oviposit on A. tuberosa only when other species aren't available--the foliage is tough [so hard for the babies to chew] and not very toxic [thus providing little protectionfrom predators]), not habitat (many plants can be kept growing in a garden where they would die / be outcompeted in the wild, after all). Neither species tolerates the often flooded conditions preferred by Asclepias perennis and A. incarnata, nor the true desert conditions tolerated by the "rush milkweed" (A. subulata?), which seems to have convergently developed the same form as Euphorbia antisyphilitica (nearly leafless succulent sticks clumping from the base), the "candelilla." While a (somewhat) clay tolerant form of A. tuberosa has been discovered, in general, the species requires sharply draining soil because it is native to dry meadows and prairies (not just the shortgrass prairie of the Great Plains, but also hills and sandy areas where rainfall is a little more frequent). I have never seen the native habitat of the neotropical Asclepias currassavica, but based on its cultivation preferences in the USA, I suspect it may have been from open pine/oak savanna and perhaps is a ruderal species that invades forest clearings elsewhere. Mexico has as many different habitat types as does the USA, from extreme deserts (both saline and not) to lowland tropical rainforests, and up the mountains through various more temperate forest cover, cloud forests, and even alpine tundra near the summits. I have no idea what you are even disputing.

Great video. Nature thanks you. Hummingbirds in our Alberta garden today are Ruby Throated and Caliope. Mostly migrants starting to head south to warmer climates. This week the little guys are feeding ‘mostly’ on honeysuckle, scarlet runner beans, sea holly and monarda. I cut back some of the honeysuckle and runner bean vines so they have a second flowering flush for the September hummers. We grow a wide range of native plants and they enjoy many but gravitate towards the pentstemons. Often overlooked are conifers. Hummers will retreat into the trees and feast on the sap. They are quite feisty and will chase away nuthatches, etc.

Salvias should be a major part of every hummingbird garden. Among salvias, guaranitica is at the top of the list. Large salvia guaranitica plants, loaded with blooms, are the workhorse during south migration in September here in the upper midwest (Iowa). 'Black and blue' is one of the few original guaranitica options, and I still usually grow one in a pot, but there are so many more options now. Every year the big plant companies (Proven Winners, Ball Flora, etc) and smaller breeders are releasing new colors onto the market.

@@stephenbahrmarbles Here in zone 5a eastern Iowa I always cover three salvias guaranitica ('blue ensign' and 'argentina skies') with a deep mound of oak leaves and a tarp. They have reliably returned in spring for many years. I dig up a couple others to overwinter in the basement and take cuttings of the rest. My front window is full of new salvia plants.

I only have a small patio, so my choices are limited. I always have lantana. This year I found some cypress vine seeds which are just coming up. I believe that I heard that hummingbirds like petunias which I have a hanging basket of purple petunias. I also have morning glories on that same side of the patio.

@@stephenbahrmarbles not yet, it's a small plant, ordered online....what came is really tiny, but will remember to take cuttings later. Will divide the bee balm so i can increase the locations, so far it's in a couple spots. Added butterfly weed last year and grew more from seed this year for the Monarchs. The hummingbirds have returned to our area, been waiting for them😊
