The last day of the season out with the plant monitors yesterday was cold and wet. We went to the Bumpus property as well as the property at the southwest corner of Dorr and Irwin to collect seeds. The Metroparks use them to repopulate park land that has been cleared.
Last week the frost was on the seedpods of Swamp milkweed.
This photo was taken at the corner of Dorr and Irwin back in September - when the cardinal flower was blooming.
I'd love to see a close-up of that swirl of dew-dropped milkweed silk. Beautiful.
