Ecologist Eric Lee-Mäder and noted botanical artist Beverly Duncan
have teamed up to create this unique exploration of the complex
ecosystem that is supported by the remarkable milkweed plant, often
over-looked or dismissed as a roadside weed. With stunning,
up-close illustrations and engaging text, they trace every stage of
the plant's changes and evolutions throughout the seasons,
including germination, growth, flowering, and seed development.
Simultaneously, they chronicle the lives of the many creatures
whose lives are intertwined with the milkweed: monarch butterflies;
soldier and queen butterflies; milkweed tussock moths; large and
small milkweed bugs; milkweed weevils; bumble bees; goldfinches;
and more. The delightful illustrations and illuminating text give
the reader the feeling of browsing an avid naturalist's sketchbook,
while also learning about different milkweed species, how to
propagate milkweed in the garden, the industrial uses of milkweed,
interesting milkweed relatives, and more.
