Flowering Spurge has the cutest little white flowers, which are attractive to native bees and small butterflies (illinoiswildflower.info). It is also the host plant to 9 species of butterflies and moths in our area (nwf.org). The seeds are a source of food for some birds, including the Wild Turkey, Bobwhite Quail, Greater Prairie Chicken, Mourning Dove, and Horned Lark (illinoisewildflower.info). Flowering Spurge has a toxic white latex in its foliage and, thus, is rarely eaten by mammalian herbivores.
