I had Farrah and her nipply bits. My Junior High principal BELLOWED in the library, "This is pornographic!" and tore the magazine to bits, seriously. About three weeks later, I bought the poster for an astronomical $7. Compare: The Who, "Pictures of Lily."

'Showy milkweed' is actually fairly common along the Wasatch Front in Utah. The plant pictured grows beside my garage. The uncommon varieties grow in the "Basin and Range" desert and nearer to Nevada or further south. A month ago, further down on my feed, there's a pic of the much rarer one.

I cleaned several of the ones nearest to me by using a squeegee during a snowstorm. Yes, it has made me feel better and it was funny.
