7-20 Virginia Knotweed, Whorled Mountain Mint, Oleander Aphids

 7-20

Virginia Knotweed, AKA Jumpseed, is a native species of woods and thickets.


Whorled Mountain Mint, also native, can be found in dry woods, meadows, fields and thickets.


And, Oleander Aphids are feeding on milkweeds, a close relative of oleander. These aphids can't survive northern winters and must recolonize Vermont and other northern states annually.
