Giant milkweed by ingrid01

Giant milkweed

Butterflies, or rather the caterpillars love this plant and it was mostly eaten, but recently it started to recover and lucky for me it has purple flowers now - perfect for my rainbow calendar!

I do not often see the flower of the milkweed. It is actually quite pretty!

@farmreporter Hi Wendy, this is not the "regular" milkweed the Monarch butterflies in the US and Mexico feed on. I'm in Oman (Middle East) and apparently this plant is called "Giant Milkweed". Butterflies very similar to the Monarch feed on them.
Last year I lived in Houston, Texas and took many pictures of my milkweed there here is a link to a picture from a year ago: http://365project.org/ingrid01/365/2019-03-26
