Description

Spider Milkweed - Antelope Horns by Debra Martz This version has a painterly effect applied and cropped as a square format.
I find the spherical inflorescene of the Spider Milkweed very attractive, as do insects.

Information found online...."Each plant might have one stem crowned with a cluster of flowers or as many as 15 stems. This particular plant had 3 stems topped with clusters. These clusters are about 3 inches in diameter and contain around 20 flowers. The common name comes from the fruit which is a conical pod, occurring in pairs and resembling the "horns of an antelope."

I captured this image on the short walk to the small Osage Lake located in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge of Oklahoma on a bright and sunny May afternoon.

Scientific Name: Asclepias Asperula

Range: From the Mojave Desert and east Nevada, east to Texas and the southern Great Plains
