Big Rocky Run Trail
After a long pause, we returned to Big Rocky Run Trail yesterday. A pleasant day for a walk - more like autumn than summer. (Today is even more like autumn - I wore a sweatshirt working in the garden this morning.) I took some pictures of interesting plants along the trail, and I found a milkweed whose identity I don't know. It was all alone, with one inflorescence in a very vivid shade of pink - very eyecatching among all the green leaves along the trail. I thought at first it was swamp milkweed, Asclepias incarnata, but the leaves aren't the same. Possibly purple milkweed, Asclepias purpurascens? This was in a rather shady area.
