Description
I photographed this Green Milkweed flower at McKinney State Park near Austin, Texas. The black and white conversion really shows the interesting patters of this beautiful herb.
Green Milkweed (Asclepias viridis) is a native, perennial forb or herb with alternate, entire leaves. The leaf margins are often wavy. Flowers are white and in an umbel, mostly one per plant.
This milkweed is common in pastures from Kansas to Texas. Generally avoided by cattle and horses. It can be found along roadsides, ditches, prairies, open areas, and other areas with little vegetative competition.
