Milkweed and Queen Anne's Lace


This pretty purple flower I found as I was walking up to the water. I am wondering what kinds of common factors all these plants have that allow them to grow in a shoreline environment.

Oh wow, I have a huge coincidence for you-----I was in Linnaeus garden in Upsala, Sweden about a week ago and I struggled to get a photo of a beautiful green beetle on the plant in the upper left. I'll have to post it----so that is a milkweed?
ReplyDeleteYup, its milkweed. Have you posted your photos anywhere?
ReplyDeleteGood point, I still need to post all of my Sweden Travelogue. I got behind because I had little wifi there. Then, things started happening here when I returned and I've never finished......I'll post my beetle on your facebook in the meantime..
