@KYSUag Lovely!

@oldham_co Yes! It's Purple Milkweed (Asclepias purpurascens).

This #WeirdPlantWednesday flowers in June through August and attracts long-tongued bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators with its nectar. 🦋

When it comes to tried-and-true snacks, there’s nothing quite like whole-wheat toast with nut butter. Try adding some finely chopped nuts, a drizzle of honey, or a little bit of cinnamon for a little extra kick!

@KYSUag Guessing a type of milkweed?

This plant produces a bitter-tasting & potentially irritating white latex that contains toxic cardiac glycosides so few mammals, other than deer, graze on this plant. Can you name it? 📍Photo captured at our Environmental Education Research Center located in Henry County, KY.
