A sentimental episode written and recorded amidst the cluttered space that I call books and bones.
Thank goodness for a milkweed plant to help me snap out of it!

Asclepias involucrata has a wide range in the southwestern US and into Mexico. I don’t remember ever seeing it offered in a nursery , but then I don’t remember a lot of stuff. But hey, it is a perennial with a woody tap root, so I’m thinking It would be a fun addition to a wildflower pollinator garden. Queen butterflies and their following caterpillars certainly thought it was a nice addition to my hoop house. Maybe I should close the end doors…nah.

The photos are mine.
