Asclepias tuberosa

Asclepias tuberosa, also known as butterfly weed, is a wonderful perennial plant native to Texas. It thrives beautifully in the dry, rocky open woods, meadows, prairies, fields, and roadsides across the state. This charming plant typically grows in a delightful clump ranging from 1 to 2.5 feet tall and showcases clusters (umbels) of bright, cheerful orange to yellow-orange flowers perched atop hairy stems with narrow, lance-shaped leaves. Unlike many milkweeds, this lovely species doesn't have milky-sapped stems.

 

The vibrant butterfly weed flowers transition into spindle-shaped seed pods, measuring 3 to 6 inches long, which split open when ripe, releasing a multitude of silky-tailed seeds that dance through the wind. The seed pods are a favorite in dried flower arrangements, and this plant has a wonderfully long bloom period, spanning from late spring to summer. The flowers are a delightful source of nectar for many butterflies, while the leaves serve as a nutritious food source for monarch butterfly larvae (caterpillars). Historically, the plant's roots have been used medicinally to soothe lung inflammations, and it's also fondly referred to as pleurisy root.

 

Butterfly weed is a breeze to grow in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils under full sun. It's drought-tolerant and thrives even in poorer, dry soils. You'll often see new growth emerging late in the spring, and these plants can be quickly cultivated from seeds. However, be patient; they may take 2 to 3 years to bloom. If seed pods aren’t removed before they burst open, mature plants can happily self-seed throughout the landscape. Butterfly weed doesn’t transplant well due to its deep taproot, so it’s best to let it settle in once established.

NICE CORD - GOOD PURCHASE
Size: 50 FT, Style: 16/3 Extension Cord, Color: Black
Purchased to use with an electric outdoor dusk to dawn light that needs to be plugged in but I needed an extension cord to reach the outlet. This worked perfectly. I also liked that the cord is very pliable. It would be easy to roll up if you just need an extension cord occasionally.

Extension cord
Size: 50 FT, Style: 16/3 Extension Cord, Color: Black
Cheaply made but has strong plugends. I wish the insulation was like more like the heavy duty outside extension. Cords. This cord is still good especially for the price. The male and female ends are high grade plugs it looks like. Just wish they woulda placed a thicker outer insulation over the extension cord but it’s water proof and can be used outside it’s worth buy for long cord for the price

Good Product
Size: 50 FT, Style: 16/3 Extension Cord, Color: Black
I bought this for some Christmas decorations and it worked out well. I probably could have found a cheaper one in a store but it was convenient to buy it online and it arrived quickly. Great for outdoor use and I'm sure it will last a long time.

Very good
Size: 50 FT, Style: 16/3 Extension Cord, Color: Black
Good value for the price. This 50 ft extension cord feels durable and works well both indoors and outdoors. The 16/3 gauge handles my power tools and outdoor equipment without overheating, and the flexibility makes it easy to roll up and store. I also like that it’s ETL listed for added safety. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the cord is a bit stiffer in colder weather than I expected. Other than that, it’s reliable, long enough for most jobs, and a solid buy for everyday use.
