2 more pictures in notes above! :D

These beautiful milkweed flowers grow out in our meadow and down by our seasonal pond and remind me of clusters of miniature columbines. I'll be showing more pictures of this remarkable flower in the future, which looks similar to a badminton bird from the side! Amazing! But from the top down, they are perfect stars, dazzling in the morning sun! Thanks to Pink Kat for identifying this flower for me! I remembered SOMEONE having some beautiful pictures of this flower but I just couldn't remember who it was!! THANKS KAT!!! YOU ROCK!!! *hugs* (BTW, I added texture to the background and the buds to give this image a little more drama and bring the flowers out.)
