The milkweed seed pods are depicted in this photo, from the immature
(in the background) to the more mature (foreground-right). The milkweed plant was
also used to treat dropsy, a fluid accumulation in the cell tissue caused by a failing

cruelty-free manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the
animals or our environment. If you would like to contribute a photo to
