Description
In a stand of milkweeds, this pod had recently opened among the dry plant leaves; the wind was catching the pod silks to begin spreading the seeds. Afternoon light makes the silk shine like gossamer.

I didn't know milkweed did this - I'll have to keep an eye on mine! Great find and capture, Kae! l/f

Hi Kay; yes, the plant looks very rustic, but the interior of the pods is almost magical. Thanks for the promo.

Beautiful work, Kay! I remember blowing the fluffy seeds away.. my parents probably didn't appreciate it!
Kae Cheatham replied:
Thanks for the comment, Pamela. Not only are the delicate, but the milkweed plant is a favorite of Monarch butterflies and their caterpillar beginnings.
