thread_title:  Scientific Classification 

message: I've changed the link for Rockies to Rocky Mountains, instead of the disambiguation page. I figured that if people were interested in the Common Milkweed and its location(s) of growth, they probably didn't care too much about the Colorado Rockies (baseball or former NHL). If anybody feels differently (that the link /should/ go to the disambiguation page), by all means, change it back, but it just seemed somewhat pointless to me.  ~ Caejis (talk) 01:39, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: "Rockies" vs. "Rocky Mountains"

message: And pretty tasty too. In May and early June (in New Hampshire), before the milkweed shot into flower, we would pick the topmost tender leaves of the plant. These we would boil and dress with vinegar and enjoy. I understand from other sites that milkweed is mildly toxic, but that boiling largely negates the toxicity. Anyway, if you are the adventurous type, give it a try.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.128.108.21 (talk) 23:32, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Under "Cultivation," this article currently states that A. syriaca can become invasive. I understand that's a quote from a USDA publication, but the quote goes against the USDA definition of an invasive plant: "A plant that is both non-native and able to establish on many sites, grow quickly, and spread to the point of disrupting plant communities or ecosystems." A. syriaca is native to the majority of North America, and therefore cannot be considered invasive in the USA, unless we specify a different ecological region where it is nonnative. How should we change the article to reflect this?

replies: text: In the preceding section, it's noted that A. syriaca has appeared in Oregon and the EU. I say let's leave it at that.--Quisqualis (talk) 03:21, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
