Peter Baye wrote, "The native milkweed, Asclepias cordifolia, is one of my favorites, common elsewhere, but not around here. It’s toxic to livestock, so ranchers historically got rid of it as much as they could. We need them now for Monarch Butterfly recovery! Fortunately, they spread like weeds once they establish. I’m growing some now.”

Heartleaf Milkweed is this wildflower's common name. It sure is beautiful!

Thanks to Peter for allowing me to share his photo with  you here.

Very foggy this morning but the sun is trying to break through this afternoon.
