I'm trying to come up with a scientific name for what I think is a standard or tree form of this white milkweed plant. I appreciate any help.

I have no use for internet bullies!

Those seed pods are so cool. I gotta find a source for seeds so I can grow this plant. The pre-schoolers in my DDs class would be amazed.

Thanks, Tiffany, I think you nailed it. I'm trying to get proper name tags up before the Master Gardeners come through on tour next week.
