This is Asclepias asperula, Antelope Horns, one of my favorite milkweeds. I love how the flowers look like green snowballs. The common name comes from the shape of its seedpods, which I featured in a previous post.

I have not seen that one. We have a native plant called Asclepias tuberosa, also called Indian Paint Brush or Butterfly Weed. Deep orange in color, it's one of my faves! LOVE this green one.
Lovely plant, what is it? Nice shot. :)
I have never seen a plant like that. How cool. Lovely shots.
yeaaa!! looks like a Ferries wheel! Cool stuff!
Common things look so Uncommon really close up. I know I'm stating the obvious...but I never cease to be amazed.
That looks so different from the asclepias' that I am used too. It is really pretty.
I love the bottom picture! Probably my favorite. And I want a ferris wheel made from plant. Plus I'm just amazed by the plant in general.
Very cool shots and informative...:-)
