Milkweed

[813diablo]

Has anyone seen some in Georgia? I hunt a lot of public land and have never laid eyes on any. I would like to use the seed pods for wind direction

If that’s what I’ve been seeing flying around on the wind outside of my office, then we have a good bit of it. I’ll see if I can get you a pic in the morning.

What you’re seeing right now is likely Cottonwood.

This is it and there’s a half acre of it growing on the side of a steep embankment. Looks kind of like dandelions, but the plants are 5’ tall and branches off a lot.

Def not cottonwood then. Could be milkweed. There’s several different kinds.

I have but it doesn’t show much. It dissipates too quickly, you can watch a milk weed fly around, go up and down according to thermals and wind direction. It’s a lot more telling.
