 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  Today's flower is Common Milkweed.  The Monarchs use it as a staple but, as you can see, bees enjoy it as well.  I was pleased to be able to transplant and have grow a plant of it when they had done some roadwork near my house several years ago now.  I find the blooms of it quite interesting with all the small flowers making up a ball.
