Asclepias tuberosa
Located in the Goodell Gardens Pollinator Garden.
It is a type of milkweed. At the garden where I work, we collect the monarch caterpillars and keep them in an aquarium until they go through the metamorphosis, then we tag the butterflies and release them. They do like this plant, but they seem to prefer common milkweed.
"This is my favorite flower. I call it "Dancing doll" with love!"

"Monarch butterfly gives eggs on the leaf of this plant."

"As I think, it is Milk weed plant. Is'nt it?"
