Description
In this image, the milkweed seed pod has already opened exposing the seeds. The seeds have little hairlike strands attached to it to assist the seeds in moving from where they are to new areas.
Most individuals consider the milkweed an invasive pest plant. The fact of the matter is milkweed is the primary food source of monarch butterflies, several butterfly caterpillars, and many other beneficial insects. If you want more butterflies on your property either plant or allow the milkweed to grow. If it disappears so does your butterflies. If you would like to start a butterfly garden plant milkweed it will draw butterflies to your garden. In the fall the seeds are interesting to shoot and trail and float away with the lightest of breezes.
