Swamp milkweed [Asclepias incarnata]. Plants with 2-inch shoots and 1/2 inch leaves. These are 1 year-old plants purchased from a Missouri native plant nursery. They are planted in a well-tended, southwest facing, hill-side garden, and their growth may not be representative of local wild plants.

Common milkweed [Asclepias syriaca]. 3-inch shoots, two 1-inch leaves on each plant. Same history and garden location as above.

Butterfly weed [Asclepias tuberosa]. 1/8-inch shoots poking out of ground. Same history and garden location as reported with A. incarnata & A. syriaca above.
