I forgot to mention you will alos get orange aphids specific to Milkweed and then there are the red and black Large Milkweed bug and Milkweed Leaf Beetle. Keep that camera close.

That extraordinary cluster of flowers is a Milkweed. Wait till the Monarch show up and you get caterpillars too. Wonderful photography.
