The milkweed is a beauty too. :) It looks like you are enjoying fun adventures this summer! <br /><br />The yarn in the pic is from Knit Picks.

I know why, I call it Annie's flower because my walking partner always collected a few for her table (we lived in a mountain valley and walked old logging roads).
