Joanie,

You’ll have to post a photo for us when this plant is in bloom.

Subject: Re: Need help i.d.'ing an Asclepias species
The attached photo shows two species of Asclepias....it's the smaller, rounded form in the front which I really need help i.d.'ing. It never looks ratty, even during and after last year's scorching, dry months
and blooms for about 3 months or so with those wonderful small, brilliant orange flowers but the foliage is and it's habit is small and tidy, always. I must have been sent this one in error from a vendor but I can't find any order receipts which would reflect its species. I have been told it's A. tuberosa but that's incorrect. I don't believe I have ever seen this form of A. before. Talk about lovely workhorse!
 
Any help anyone can would provide would be hugely appreciated.
