Your flow...Looks like a great way to pick up trash!<br />Your flower is Milkweed..the pink one is called Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata). Joe Pye is different, it is taller and its flower heads will look fluffy..it should bloom soon, I have not seen any bloom yet. The Milkweeds are all blooming now which is great because they are the plant that makes Monarch Butterflies possible. There are two kinds of Milkweed in this area Common Milkweed think heavy leaves and little bouquets of flowers. For a real treat look at them close up..they should be on the roadsides in the refuge.<br />Sorry for the long flower lecture:) Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-58395904771969886112013-07-17T08:52:01.565-05:002013-07-17T08:52:01.565-05:00I think you two have made quite a bond.
