Texas Milkweed or White Milkweed, Asclepias texana.
Native, endemic to Texas, it is a perennial milkweed. An attractive plant with clusters of white flowers, mainly found in the Edwards Plateau and in some areas of West Texas. About 6 to 18 inches tall, it grows in caliche outcrops, hillsides and grassy fields among live oaks or near creeks. It normally blooms from late spring to mid-fall. Today one still has a few blooms even after we've had some nighttime lows down into the 20's. A very rare occurrence and quite amazing! This plant deserves to be preserved and propagated.
