Flowering Spurge (Euphorbia corollata). A plant that’s in the Spurge family (Euphorbiaceae). Flowering Spurge has a milky sap that is caustic, so be careful.
Those flowers are really small at just 1/4 inch. The plant grows to 2 or 3 feet tall and has a taproot which makes it difficult to transplant. It can be found in Ontario, and in the United States from Texas north to South Dakota and east through all of the states to the Atlantic.
With a good amount of pollen and nectar to share, the plant attracts many pollinators and the edible seeds are a magnet for Wild Turkeys, Greater Prairie-chicken, and Bobwhite Quail.
