Description
The title of this close-up of a dried milkweed (Asclepias L.) pod, Promises, refers to the hope represented by the seeds being dispersed by the wind. Milkweed is important to many pollinators. Bees and other helpful insects take advantage of the nectar of its flowers. And it's well known as the host plant for the caterpillars of the monarch butterfly. I took this photograph in eastern Nebraska, but the plant is found throughout the Midwest.
