At long last, today is Milkweed Blossom Day! I've been meaning to feature the side view of a Milkweed flower for over a month and finally the day has arrived! I realized that the flowers have peaked and there aren't many buds left now, so if I was going to get some nice side views for a Pick of the Day, I'd better go out there and do it before I was too late!

Friedrich Max Müller (December 6, 1823 – October 28, 1900), generally known as Max Müller, was a German-born philologist and Orientalist, who lived and studied in Britain for most of his life. He was one of the founders of the western academic field of Indian studies and the discipline of comparative religion. Müller wrote both scholarly and popular works on the subject of Indology and the Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume set of English translations, was prepared under his direction. He also put forward and promoted the idea of a Turanian family of languages and Turanian people. Max Müller
