Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa) earns its name every summer when monarchs, swallowtails, and a parade of pollinators descend on its clusters of vivid orange flowers. This native milkweed species, sometimes called Orange Milkweed or Pleurisy Root, is one of the showiest wildflowers you can grow and one of the most important for supporting butterfly populations.

A Pollinator Powerhouse

Unlike its aggressive cousin Common Milkweed, Butterfly Weed stays in a tidy clump, reaching just 1-2 feet tall and wide. From early summer through late summer, flat-topped clusters of brilliant orange blooms create a landing pad for butterflies and serve as a critical nectar source. For monarch butterflies specifically, this plant is more than just a food source: it's a host plant where monarchs lay their eggs and caterpillars feed on the foliage as they develop.

Built for Tough Conditions

Butterfly Weed thrives where other perennials struggle. Its deep taproot, which can extend several feet into the soil, allows it to access moisture during droughts and survive in lean, rocky, or sandy soils. Once established after the first season, this plant requires virtually no maintenance. It tolerates heat, humidity, and neglect with equal grace. The trade-off for this toughness is patience: Butterfly Weed emerges late in spring, often weeks after other perennials have leafed out, and takes a full season to establish its root system before putting on its best show.

Landscape Uses

Plant Butterfly Weed in native gardens, prairie-style borders, rock gardens, or xeriscapes where its drought tolerance shines. The orange blooms combine beautifully with purple coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, and ornamental grasses. Mass plantings create a dramatic ribbon of color that draws pollinators from across the neighborhood. This plant also works in meadow plantings or naturalized areas where its self-seeding habit is welcome rather than a nuisance.

Four-Season Interest

Beyond the showy summer blooms, Butterfly Weed offers ornamental seed pods in fall that split open to release silky-tufted seeds. These pods add texture to the late-season garden and provide food for goldfinches and other seed-eating birds. The foliage may develop russet tones before dying back completely in winter. Leave the stems standing through winter for structural interest and cut back in early spring before new growth emerges.

Why This Plant Belongs in Your Garden

If you care about supporting pollinators, especially threatened monarch butterflies, Butterfly Weed is essential. It provides both nectar for adult butterflies and foliage for monarch caterpillars, making it a complete life-cycle plant. The fact that it requires zero fertilizer, minimal water after establishment, and no pest management makes it one of the easiest native perennials you can grow. Deer and rabbits leave it alone, and once that taproot is down, this plant will return reliably for decades.

A crucial theologian at the crux of the clash of various constructions of the Crucified Lord's two natures.
Format: Paperback
Cyril of Alexandria (c. 376 – 444) is arguably one of the most important theologians on the development and clarification on Christology in the Church Tradition. Following on the heels of Athanasius and the Cappadocian Fathers, Cyril was the integral figure in hammering out the heresy of Nestorianism (a rough outline of Nestorianism: the belief that Jesus Christ is composed of two persons or, using Nestorians’ terminology, ‘two sons’–one divine and the other human. This strong dichotomy jeopardizes core tenants of Christianity: the uniqueness of Jesus, salvation brought up by God, the role of the Spirit in believers, etc). On the Unity of Christ is penned by the mature Cyril amassing and curtly arranging his thoughts in dialectical conversation. Here, Cyril is battling all kinds of heresies: Nestorianism, Arianism, adoptionism, Apollinarianism, and Eutychianism. It is a testament of his superior rhetoric to say so much against so many with such few words. This work, therefore, is an absolute essential reading for Christology.

It’s just as expected
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
For some reason St Cyril of Alexandria’s writings aren’t on New Advent. Or at least I couldn’t find them on there. It arrived just as expected 👍

Cyril of Alexandria's mystical understanding of Christ was holistic and non-dual!
Format: Paperback
I can't say enough about this book. It was the inspiration behind my book! It showed me that the West has settled for a static dualistic interpretation of the person of Christ. Cyril of Alexandria opened the mystical door to a wholly other approach. Cyril of Alexandria's mystical understanding of Christ was holistic and non-dual. For Cyril Jesus is undivided: "at once God and human." Jesus, according to Cyril, is about creative tension, paradox, and complex dynamism. It is the dynamic unity of Christ espoused in this book that gave me the hope of a holistic vision taking hold of the Church once again. It gave me the hope for a core mystical theology that has the power to unite a divided Church. Cyril's holistic Christology is preserved today in the Oriental Orthodox Church's Miaphysite theology, which I attempted to make vital and contemporary in my book. -Amos Smith (author of Healing The Divide: Recovering Christianity's Mystic Roots)
