Four Leaved Milkweed
Asclepias quadrifolia
There are several species of milkweed and this is one. This particular one has middle leaves in whorls of 4 that you see in the lower right of the photo. Milkweed blooms vary from pinkish to very light lavender to rose color. The sap of the plant is milky and all are butterfly magnets. Seed pods form in the fall, then burst open exposing the seeds with silky hairs that help the seeds disperse via the wind.
