The Milkweed Plant:
You’ll find this plant in fields, meadows, and along roadsides. If you find
milkweed, you’re also likely to find monarch butterflies. Meadows of Milkweed
plants attract hundreds of monarch butterflies. Milkweed is essential for
the existence of Monarch butterflies. You may want to stitch a butterfly
sitting on your flower tops. Where does the milkweed plant get its name?
It leaks a thick, white sap when cut or broken that makes it look like it’s
leaking milk. It grows from 2-6 feet high. It usually has a single, simple stem.
Flowers: Blooms from late June to August. Flowers emerge in umbrella-like
clusters and range in color from pink to rose-purple to orange or white.
Fruit: in the fall, flowers develop into seedpods. The pods have a warty outer
skin filled with downy fluff that will carry the seeds on the wind like a
parachute.
Pioneers used sap from milkweed as a cure for warts.
The airborne fluffy parachute of the seed was used by Native Americans to
insulate moccasins.
The dried empty seedpods were used as Christmas tree decorations by early
pioneers.
