Lost Creek, MO - Asclepias quadrifolia and Other Treasures!

[@jeannie1renee2]

I HATE those MF roses! They're taking over all my favorite spots! Also, how absolutely wretched that someone stole the Ladie's Slippers!!

The Asclepias quadrifolia, do they come back in the same spot every year? Will your same plant be back next year? I found a few several years ago, in my favorite little park, but hadn't been able to locate them in the spot were I was sure I had taken the photos. Went this year at the same time of month and came across quite a few, but not in the spot I remembered. Close, but not quite. The ones I found several years ago were larger, maybe a foot and a half, and were almost white. All the ones I found today were much smaller and all were more pink.

They come back. I've been watching one clump for 5yrs now. Varies in size, and flower color seems influenced rather than genetic (white to pinks).
