Milkweed Seedpod
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 28 January 2008 in Plant & Nature.
Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca); native; Grows in meadows; 3-5 feet tall. Although the seeds are gone and the fluff has been compressed by rain and cold, I enjoy the shapes and subtle colors.

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.
