Showy Milkweed (Asclepias speciosa) Seedskadee NWR (15517847764)
Description:
Summary[edit] Description: On Seedskadee NWR, showy milkweed grows around the margins of wetlands where the ground has been disturbed in the past. It produces abundant flowers used by many pollinators. The young seedpods are eaten by deer, moose, and rabbits. Stems die back each fall after frost and the plants regrow from the root systems the next spring. plants.usda.gov/factsheet/pdf/fs_assp.pdf Photo: Tom Koerner/USFWS. Date: 28 July 2014, 09:16.
