The Common Milkweed wildflowers look like a ball of little flowers which you can find all over Cape Cod this summer.

Common Milkweed wildflowers have tiny purplish to pink flowers which grow in 2″ round clusters . They bloom from June to August in fields and roadsides. I saw these Common Milkweed on the side of the trail while hiking at Fort Hill in Eastham.

The first photograph shows a fully bloomed cluster and the second photograph shows one that is just blooming.

Very pretty and unique wildflower!
