Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy…
Edited in Topaz Studio-Photographed in Cedar City, Utah
I noticed this decaying leaf stuck in the milkweed fuzz, a golden glow from the morning sunlight, it looked beautiful :)
Asclepias is a genus of herbaceous, perennial, flowering plants known as milkweeds, named for their latex, a milky substance containing cardiac glycosides termed cardenolides, exuded where cells are damaged.
Most important of all— milkweed plants are the ONLY food that the larvae of our beloved and beleaguered Monarch butterfly can eat, and thus they are the critical link in the lifecycle of the Monarchs. Without milkweeds these beautiful butterflies will completely disappear; their population has already dropped an incredible 90% over the past decade.
