A milkweed on the greenway
I'm thinking this is swamp milkweed, Asclepias incarnata. I haven't ever bothered to really learn all of the milkweeds and their specific characteristics -- there are actually quite a few species out there, although only a few "in cultivation."
This one is along the Weaver Boulevard greenway in Asheville -- quite lovely.
I admired the common milkweed at Beaver Lake again this morning -- covered in honey bees, flower flies, and skippers.
