Question
Someone gave this plant to my niece and I'm not sure what it is. Milkweed? Any ideas? It came from someones garden in the suburbs of NoVa.
Answer
Dear CatAnn19, I can't help you from the images provided. As well, cultivated plants can hail from all over the world (but my region of expertise is the northeast). You can confirm that it is likely a milkweed (as the leaves do suggest this) by making a tiny tear in one leaf--it should exude latex (most species of milkweed do this). Best wishes.
