This plant has sprouted up on our driveway this summer and last and I wasn't sure what it was. I was hopeful it is milkweed, despite not getting to flower stage (likely because it is in our gravel driveway 😅).

I've been dutifully dispersing milkweed seeds in the fall, especially in the area of our municipal drainage ditch, hoping they would stratify and take. I've noticed a few more similar plants sprout up (but none in the ditch lol) and today noticed this feller hanging out.

It looks like it is a milkweed tussock moth caterpillar, which means this is a milkweed. How neat is that?
