This is a Honeyvine Milkweed that is common throughout Missouri & may even become problematic at times. The seeds are carried on the the silken threads of the pod and in the fall, the weeds stems are cut and used for cordage (rope making). We found this big plant while exploring a State Park this week. All critiques are welcomed. ;=)
