plant identification

Mexican Milkweed, Asclepias curassavica.

thank you for your quick responce. And now ive found out another names, such as 'bloodflower', 'scarlet milkweed' for this plant thru some searching on the net. i wonder if these names have been also familiar with American people.

I live in the American Southwest and most folks around here call it Mexican milkweed or Mexican butterfly weed. In California I purchased it as tropical milkweed. It attracts butterflies better than anything.

Thanks for ur sharing.

Here in my veranda ive never seen any butterfly not only upon the milkweed but also upon any plant i own this year except little black aunts. Maybe ive been hanging some screens over my veranda throughout the year, so butterflies and bees couldnt see well of my butterfly weed.
