LOUISIANA READY FOR MONARCHS! (March 19, 2002)

The antelope horn milkweed (Asclepias viridis) plants in my garden are now 8 inches tall and topped with large flowerheads (still in bud form, however). Also, my exotic Mexican milkweed (A. curassavica) plants are sprouting (about 4 inches tall). Therefore, south Louisiana how has adequate food to support monarchs on their spring migration from Mexico.

(Estimating first leaves as March 15, 2002. Awaiting confirmation.)
