MILKWEED ASCLEPIAS SYRIACA
CONSIDERED THE SECOND MOST INTRICATE FLOWER AFTER ORCHIDS. IN WW II THE FLOSS FROM MILKWEED PODS WAS USED TO FILL LIFE JACKETS FOR AIRMEN WHO WOULD BE KEPT AFLOAT IF THEIR PLANES WENT DOWN IN THE OCEAN. IMPORTANT FOR MONARCH BUTTERFLIES WHO LAY THEIR EGGS ON THIS PLANT AND FROM WHICH THEY GET THEIR POISONOUS QUALITIES.

Sorry the photo of the Glade Mallow couldn't be transferred, and that's too bad because June 15, 2016 the name Glade Mallow Napaea dioica was hard for me to recall.
