Milkweed for the Monarch butterflies

At the Yard Stop outside Mt Dora I found some Milkweed plants. They really do look like weeds and they don't have beautiful flowers. The only reason I want them is because this is the only plant that Monarch butterflies lay eggs on, cause it's the only food Monarch caterpillars eat. 

As a bonus, it came with several caterpillars!
I also have some Red Milkweed Beetles, but they are supposed to be harmless.
