You can see the Monarch Butterfly caterpillar feeding away on this Pine Needle Butterfly
Weed. Asclepias linaria is native to the California deserts with its range extending into Arizona and Mexico. The
Pine Needle Butterfly Weed is about 2 feet tall. The leaves are well described by the species epithet "linaria" as they
are very slender. Asclepias linaria is a great addition to the butterfly garden.
