I have noticed monarch butterflies laying eggs on a vine that covers one of my bushes, I thought it was milkweed but I haven't found any pictures of milkweed that showed a vine, the leaves are heart shaped with a pod that opens in the fall to release brown flat seeds that have a fluffy top to float in the wind, the pod looks like a milkweed pod but I'm not sure, is this milkweed?
Is there a milkweed vine?
What you have is in the milkweed family, but not a milkweed. The most likely possibility is Sandvine. The second possibility is Angle Pod. Try finding a picture of them to see which it is.
Reply:Not milkweed. Careful of any vine growing on your bushes...it may kill them.
Reply:It sure sounds like milkweed to me. We get this kind each year. As a kid i loved to open them up.
