I took this photo with my phone last week and just rediscovered it.
Milkweed plants conjure up many childhood memories. Striped caterpillars with black antennae. Green chrysalises. Monarch Butterflies. Sticky “milk” on my fingers. Splitting open pods to reveal the silky seeds. Throwing said pods at my brothers.
I was so happy to spot this plant and only wish a Monarch Butterfly had also been present to complete the tableau.

And kids had to be told not to taste the milk.

Ah, that’s right. And if I remember correctly, the milk is quite bitter. 🙂

I can’t believe you tasted it. They told us it was deadly poison.

Did they? I guess I didn’t listen too closely. Oops!
