    You folks are so knowledgeable, can you ID this plant in winter? Summer flowers have a daisylike shape, mostly orange with some yellow, dark centers. As pic shows seedheads are borne "standing up", some seeds remain today. Plant doesn't get much taller than 1 foot and is very neat in appearance during bloom. It's not at all invasive as very few seedlings grow from wind dispersal. I've collected many seeds and will try to start them this year. Lovely perennial (or biennial?).

    Wonder why I recall it having daisy-like flowers! The USDA search showed mine resembles Asclepias tuberosa L (but ssp. interior was similar). Knew you wouldn't need a summer shot. Thank you. Off to label my photo!
