| Every day I walk down a gravel road with my dogs. We live in the desert of Eastern Washington.
Growing alongside the road without any supplemental water is a bush about 3' x 3' ... I'm including photos of just a small branch. This bush is a beautiful green, despite the 100 degree f summer we have without rain. It has very tiny, white flowers with a fragrant, sweet smell. It also appears to spread as it has a couple shoots coming up within a couple feet of it. Does anyone know what it is? I am guessing it is growing there because of a bird or other passerby. This isn't a bush I see growing wild otherwise.... (or, at least I don't notice it amidst the bland, beige sagebrush!) Thanks!

| Looks like one of the milkweeds, asclepias. |

| Or could be Euphorbia. |

| I went to the actual bush to take photos... hoping that helps. Does it still look like a milkweed? I didn't see anything that was similar, although the leaves are close.
