Description
Milkweeds are native to the midwest and eastern portions of North America. I find them especially along the grassy dunes of our Lake Michigan beaches! You can learn more about their marvelous wonders in a photo/video essay I've written at http://hubpages.com/art/The-Many-Haircuts-of-Milkweed.
Ode to Milkweed
Amazing milkweed,
many a day I overlooked your full beauty
such as the golden riches of your inner pods,
the pink and purple petals of your umbels,
or the intricate scarlet veins of your leaves,
even though time and again as a child I set your seed tufts free
and watched them fly high into the wind
where my dreams were carried away with a puff
