RE: Common Milkweed - asclepias syriaca
The Asclepiads or milkweed family all have a white latex sap with is more of a skin or mouth irritant in humans than outright toxic but some are worse than others and they are not livestock friendly. My weird stapeliad flowers that I have been posting are in the same family.
That's interesting. Yes, I think they are named milkweed after the white sap. I read that they have tried to make latex out of it.
