honeyvine, Cynanchum laeve
Honeyvine is a close relative of milkweeds. This native makes a good garden addition to attract monarch butterflies and feed their caterpilars. It is of course a little toxic for the rest of us who don't have the ability to segregate those toxins so the birds don't eat us. Honeyvine grows in AL, AR, DE, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, MO, MS, NC, NE, NY, OH, OK, PA(E), SC, TN, TX, VA, WV, and ON. Cedar Bog Nature Preserve, Champaigne Co OH, 8/19/11. Dogbane family, Apocynaceae.

Hi Denise
Just thinking it's almost time to come look for Platanthera flava. Bob
Hi Bob:
I found it on Eber Rd, about 1.5 mi S. of Kitty Todd Preserve 1/4 mi from Metroparks land. I’m guessing it came in on the RR. (NwOhio)
Apparently so, but not on all plants. The brown only shows a little in this image.
Regarding umber pussytoes, one reference calls it brown-brackted pussytoes. Are it's bracts browner than other pussytoes?
