Butterfly Milkweed
I saw this bright orange flower from across the soggy field and made my way over to photograph it. Its butterfly milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa), a native member of the Milkweed family. Its brighter and shorter (2 ft) than common milkweed and does not produce seed pods. I have not seen this flower before and had some trouble selecting only one picture. How about four... I would like to find one of these plants for my garden.
