Milkweed. Great for monarchs (larvae host) and other flying creatures.
This is what the seed pods should look like if you're looking to save and plant.
Let me know if you want some.
It's beneficial to have a variety of species.

I just let this Tomatillo plant keep on blooming and growing because of the incredible bee activity.
At least 15 Bumbles this morning, as well as several other bee species.
Remember to protect pollinators year round.
Let me know if you have questions!

Due to numerous aphids, ants, and flies I was going to cut down this milkweed when I noticed this little buddy...that will hopefully bloom into the larger friend needing a lift outta the greenhouse today.
