Water softener prices typically range from below $1,000 to almost $10,000. Luckily, the going rate for water softeners is between the $1,000 and $2,500 range, and you can find most of the good quality models at these prices.
Butterfly weed, or milkweed, is a native American wildflower that is at home in both the wild garden and the perennial border, as a flower that attracts hummingbirds and butterflies.
I am observing an assembly of 5 Milkweed plants, not yet in bloom, at various stages of growth. The plants are knee- to hip-high, having a single straight stem that may lean slightly in one direction, depending on the position of the plant. The leaves are oblong (oval), pointed and up to 22 cm long and 10 cm wide. The stem of each leaf is up to 2 cm long.
