Milk Weed

Asclepias incarnata. Height - 2 to 4 ft  Time of Bloom - June - August  Flower colors - dark pink 
So many species of insects depend on it for food. Monarch Butterflies, and Milkweed Beetles eat only milkweed and could not survive without it.


Why buy the cow when you can get the milk weed for free?
