Slowly opening, readying to burst and send forth dozens of feathery seeds, the Milkweed pod currently is occupied by Milkweed Beetles.

This pod awaits a burst of wind in order to disperse it’s contents. Copyright 2020 Pamela Breitberg (photo 2007)Some Milkweed seeds are temporarily caught on grasses or stems. I can’t help but remember the scene from Disney’s Nutcracker Suite section of Fantasia whenever I see them dance through the air like tiny ballerinas. Copyright 2020 Pamela Breitberg (photo 2007)
