Fourleaf Milkweed - Asclepias quadrifolia

Updated: May 29, 2021


Found in a woodland near Hudson Lake, OK.

Captured May 16, 2021


I first saw this delicate milkweed in the woods of Ruth and Paul Henning Conservation Area in Branson, Missouri. I was enchanted with the nodding pale-pink flowers and the loose inflorescence. The flowers in other milkweeds I am familiar with are much more closely packed together. I was delighted to find several individuals of this plant on my family's new lake property.
