I love this stuff. We used to tear it apart and send the seeds out into the air when we were kids.

Beautiful photos of one of my favorite plants! I suggest you add this spotting to the mission, "Fall Into Phenology."

This is a type of milkweed (asclepias) seed pod. If you had a picture of the leaves, I could probably give you a better idea as to which type.
