Wildflowers of KY - Swamp Milkweed, Sulphur Creek Bottomland

This week is the first time I've seen Swamp Milkweed, a favorite feast for butterflies, in this pretty pink hue. Usually, Milkweed is spotted in its flaming orange color. It adds a really effective foreground for the Joe Pye Weed and Iron Weed which could be seen in a larger photo. - LW. (Photo Fri 24 Aug 2018, in the evening.) Comments | Permalink
