Unfamiliar Cousins
We’re all familiar with bright orange California poppies, whether we live in California, or have grown them in our back yard back east. The same is true for the many types of <I>Salvia</I>; we’re all familiar with the aromatic Sage we use in our cooking, as well as the many bedding varieties. And as for milkweed, well forget about it. Milkweed is either an annoying weed that ruins the flow of your lawn (and shame on you for feeling like that), or it is must-have treasure in the butterfly garden. But ya know, sometimes the fruit falls a little further from the tree; each of these familiar faces has a cousin or two that is, if not a secret, then certainly something the family doesn’t talk about.
