June 23

.

One of those "it pays to keep your eyes open" moments........

We are looking down into the kitchen sink.  There is a clear glass plate sitting on the bottom of the sink, and there are bubbles trapped beneath the plate.................  Even in my own kitchen I see things I've never seen before...........



Milkweed.  This is a spectacular plant.  Lots of clusters of these amazing flowers, which smell wonderful.


Who gets to decide this lovely thing is a weed?  Especially as it is critical to the existence of monarch butterflies?

Your plate bubbles remind me of a petri dish! And those bachelor buttons in the other post -- always wondered what those flowers were. I hate thinking of flowers as weeds...
