| thank carol, i think it is a araujia sericifera. do you know if the fruit is edible by any chance? a woman picking the furits told me that it is edible once boiled w/ salt & pepper, but most (english) references on the net consider it to be a noxious weed. |
|
| I would more likely think it's toxic, not edible. It's a type of asclepias (milkweed). |
|
| I certainly wouldn't eat it. You can search on line about toxicity, etc. |
|
| karyn, interestingly, milkweed is edible (if cooked properly and picked at the right time). --------- it's definitely an interesting looking plant, and most certainly deserves more study than the simply eradication due to its weedy status. |
