Milkweed plants are among my favorites. They’re great pollinators, they attract milkweed bugs, the pods have this weird nubbed appearance, they burst open and release seeds that are much cooler and more photogenic than dandelion seeds (which I am not putting down in the least). I love the texture here and the composition and the color this shot gave me.
