Butterfly Weed in Michigan


While running yesterday on Hoffman Road near Three Rivers, Michigan, I took this photo with my Motorola V3 RAZR of a Butterfly Weed. According to my source, National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Wildflowers : Eastern Region, the seeds from the plant were used to treat the respiratory ailment pleurisy by Native Americans.
