Me, too. One of our milkweed seen by the highways and in fields is
Asclepias tuberosa, a bright orange; I wish the common name wasn't
"Butterfly weed" as it is oft-putting to many newer gardeners. It likes
hot, dry areas so is good for a drought resistant beds. We also have
Asclepias incarnata, A. quadrifolia, and A variegata.
