    These are amazing photographs, Carol. It’s fascinating to see the many species of milkweed, and I’m grateful that there are people like you who take the time to notice the many forms of beauty that it provides – both through the plant itself and the life it supports. Loved these.

      Thanks so much! I had one more type I wanted to add but could not find my photographs of it – Whorled milkweed – tiny leaves and flowers. Very dainty and pretty.
