Other: The Sunset Flower, also known as Milkweed, is crucial for the survival of the Monarch butterfly, as their larvae feed exclusively on milkweed plants. It also serves as an important nectar source for bees and other insects. The plant’s common name derives from its milky sap, while its scientific name is attributed to Asclepius, the Greek god of healing, due to the plant’s historical medicinal uses. The vibrant, multi-colored blooms attract hummingbirds and the dried seed pods are popular in dried floral arrangements.
