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. |
