Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) is a
herbaceous plant species native to
North America. It is found growing in damp to wet soils and is also cultivated as a garden plant for its attractive flowers that are visited by
butterflies. Like most other
milkweeds, it has sap with toxic chemicals, used to repel
insects and
herbivorous animals.Photo credit:
