Swamp Milkweed Winterized

Swamp Milkweed can be distinguished from Common Milkweed first by looking at its habitat, whether it is in a wet or dry area during the growing season, or by looking at the "husk" of the seedpod. The thinner seedpods are from swamp milkweed  and the thicker, larger husks are from common milkweed. Here, the husks are thinner and slightly smaller than common milkweeds.
