Common Milkweed
Asclepias Syriaca
Asclepias Syriaca
A plant with a 'common' name has uncommonly beautiful, and fragrant, flowers. I took this photo in July, 2010, at the Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center, located about 20 miles southwest of Lincoln, Nebraska.

Great photo! The bees like it as well.
I had no idea the milkweed flower was so beautiful. Wonderful shot. I think that is the Monarch's flower of choice.
Hi Pat,
Wow! What a beautiful flower shot. That gives me hope that before we know it spring will really be here.
Thanks for stopping by ... you caught me before I was all done; you might like my ME post even better now. You are right about life being a chair of bowlies, especially last week.
Have a great week!

Beautiful photo! I love milkweed because it is so attractive and attracts so many different pollinators, like the fly in your photo.
What a beautiful perspective.
How perfect.
My favorite is Ueen Anne's lace and I can't wait to see it......
Spring has GOT to be just around the corner........
This is a wonderful macro of a very beautiful flower. Very well done.
