Wondering how to ID common ? 🔍

Here’s what to look out for:
✅ A pair of leaves coming off the stem
✅ Parallel, light veins
✅ If the leaf is torn it will exude white milky sap

To note: Can sometimes be confused with Spreading Dogbane (bottom left) or Joe Pye W**d (bottom right). Both are native plants.

Comment on identifie l’asclépiade commune? 🔍

Voici les caractéristiques à examiner:
✅ Feuilles en paires le long de la tige
✅ Veines pâles et parallèles
✅ Sève blanche comme du lait si on arrache une feuille

N.B. Espèces semblables à ne pas confondre: apocyn à feuilles d'Androsème (en bas à gauche) ou eupatoire pourpre (en bas à droite).
