Oleander Aphids- Ladybird Beetles




All of this action is happening on swamp milkweed, Asclepias incarnata, that I planted last fall in our backyard.

  2. I planted a non-native ornamental milkweed in my garden a few years ago. The hordes of aphids destroyed the plants. I don't recall ever getting a flower.
