I am a research technician in the biology department at Augustana University in Sioux Falls, SD. We study the genetic and metabolomic differences between Showy Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) and Common Milkweed (Asclepias speciosa). For more information on our project, or to contribute milkweed samples, send me a message through iNaturalist or visit our website at milkweedflowerproject.org.
