The most popular species of Asclepias is Asclepias tuberosa, commonly known as butterfly weed. This species has bright orange flowers and is attractive to butterflies and other pollinators.

These hats are small, round, and papery, with a distinct pattern on the surface. They can be collected and used for decoration or craft projects.
