Plant: Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa)
Uploaded by arctangent
Info: Seeds / 2019-11-07 / Matthaei Botanical Gardens, Ann Arbor / License: All rights reserved
Caption: The pods of this milkweed are slim and flattish when opened, which makes them easy to distinguish from pods of common milkweed when seen without any available reference to the earlier appearance of the blooms.
