Humble milkweed.

A plant so named, because if you break its stem, it will produce a milky syrup. Incidentally, that “milk” is poisonous to humans.

I really think it’s a cool plant.

In particular, the spherical arrangement of star-shaped flowers sticks out to me as somewhat unique among plants of this region.

I love the way they look when the7 have only buds and not yet flowers.

I noticed the milkweed growing in a thick patch between the water tower and retention pond within the confines of an unfinished housing development near my parents’ house, and I’ve seen it in a few other spots elsewhere.

I don’t have much else to say, because I think the subject matter stands quite tall on its own.

(I promise I also took photos of log cabins, and an adorable baby bunny rabbit, but they’re not milkweed.)
