Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) is a handsome, straight plant you see in every farm field and growing wherever a roadside hasn't been mowed. Leaves are glossy and thick, and the blooms are large, rounded clusters of purplish/pink flowers atop plants that range from 2 to 5 ft. It's native in the US from Canada to Georgia, and west to Texas.

The botanical name, "Asclepias"; is after Aesclepios, the Greek God of medicine, since this plant has been used as a medicinal since ancient times. "Milkweed" derives from the fact that when you break a stem, sticky white sap immediately appears. Common Milkweed is one of our commonest "weeds," but one almost all wildflower gardeners want.

This is the plant famous for its "silky seeds" in fall, when you see the drying cone-shaped seedpods crack open and their snow-white shiny fluff flying around the meadow. This is the dispersal mechanism for the large shiny seeds of common milkweed. Every kid loves to blow them away in fall, like dandelion seeds in spring.

Even though farmers hate milkweed, you'll love it in your wildflower garden...for two reasons. It's beautiful and dependably perennial, and it's the No. 1 plant visited by Monarch butterflies on their famous migration south every summer and fall. In fact, during late summer, it's somewhat rare to see a milkweed plant without a monarch perched upon the flowers, making it the No. 1 butterfly magnet among our wildflowers. ("Butterfly Weed" is a close relative, with bright orange flowers.)

Great sensory resource
Format: Board book
I am a teacher and a developmental therapist. This book is great for sensory exposure. The kids really respond to the colors. I find that they gravitate to this book and are able to sit for longer and longer periods of time with books like these.

My grandsons favorite book.
Format: Board book
The pictures are large and easy to understand. I like all the different colors and that each number is a different color so we can review that as well as count. The flap at the end could stand to be of sturdier material since it’s lifted several times daily by a toddler. Otherwise great book.

Sweet little book
Format: Board book
Our toddler grandchildren (ages 2 and 5) continually pick this and other books in the series out for us to read aloud. Besides whimsical illustrations, the book is informative with simple facts about hedgehogs hoglets.

It's a hedgehog!
Format: Board book
My sweet daughter-in-law is expecting our 1st grandchild. Since we are a huge family of readers I asked my son & dil to give me names for some of their favorite books growing up. I bought a few of their favorites & since she loves hedgehogs I thought this would be a cute little book for bedtime. As our granddaughter starts to read by herself this will be a great starter book to have, too.
