I've posted this species already this year, but I love it so much I'm posting it again. This #greencomet #milkweed (#asclepiasviridiflora), which isn't fully bloomed out yet, has a great view of Orchard Knob Missionary Baptist Church - a view that was sunny for, like, 2 seconds this morning. I've only seen a few of these scattered around, but I've founded it in more areas of the park this year than last year, so □. #orchardknob #orchardknobcha #tnwildflowers #okmbc #ilovemyneighborhoodnationalpark
