Asclepias speciosa
Pinkish white star shaped flowers clustered together. Plant was about 2.5 ft tall.
Spotted in a meadow at the Helen McCabe State Park.
Native Americans used fiber in the stems for rope, basketry, and nets.Some Native Americans believed the milky sap had medicinal qualities, however, most species of milkweed are toxic.
