What is wrong with the leaves? A mutation or infection?

I’ve been watching this plant for the past 3 years. It’s not robust but continues to show no chlorophyl.

Freeborn county, MN

Mutant milkweed. One conjoined leaf and one weird bright yellow leaf.

With whorled leaves.

What is going on with the leaves here?

Whorl of three leaves per node

Strange leaf that appears to be 2 or 3 leaves combined.

I’ve never seen a common milkweed with seed pods with such long parts on the seed pods.

Notable whorled leaf arrangements on this individual, with a whorl of 5 leaves, and a second whorl of 3 lower on the plant. Perhaps polyploid?

Recording insects, spiders, birds, nectar plants and other flora as I search for butterflies - butterflies reported separately mostly to eButterfly.org

A milkweed plant without pigment in the flowers.

I think this is chlorotic.

Strange leaf for common milkweed

"Albino" milkweed, perhaps suffering from a chromosomal mutation or maybe chlorosis? Photo and observation reported on behalf of my sister.

Anyone know what is causing the leaves to crumple? Several young plants are showing this effect.
