I love Milkweed. They are critical components in our environment to support wildlife.

One thing I like about Milkweed is that I feel like I can create images of those flowers that are different than the way most people see them,

Milkweed flowers grow atop tall stalks. The flowers themselves grow in large clusters of smaller individual blossoms.

I don’t know if many people stop to take a close up look at the flowers of the milkweed.

Do most only see the large clusters of flowers? Is that how one recognizes a milkweed?

I like to stop and take a close look at the Milkweed.

I lean in close with my macro lens.

The goal is to isolate either just a few individual flower blossoms or even better one single Milkweed flower blossom.

I think this shows a perspective of a plant that not many people have an opportunity to see.

This image is one of my favorites. One Milkweed flower blossom in bloom covered in water droplets. Then on as yet un-bloomed flower there below it.

Photo details: Nikon D500. Nikon 60mm f/2.8. Focal length 60mm. ISO 400. 1/400 sec. f/4.8.

Thank you for joining me on the blog today for a close up look at a Milkweed flower.
