Milkweed = a herbaceous plant with milky sap critical to the monarch butterfly

Western whorled milkweed (Asclepias subverticillata) is a favorite of pollinators and a host plant for butterflys, including monarchs. However the plant is toxic to livestock, and many species of birds and mammals. #FloralFriday #GrandCanyon #Arizona pic.twitter.com/Z1LLXRwuN3
