Beautiful shot, really great job. (And did you know that Monarch butterflies lay their eggs on the underside of milkweed leaves? The bird store by my house hatches them on milkweed leaves in the store.)
This is the pod of a milk weed letting go of its seeds. The wind catches the light feathery seeds and carries them to new pastures. I love when they dry and turn brown/grey like this and always thought they would look neat in a fall arrangement. That pod, at this stage, is hard almost like wood.
