While looking for emerging milkweed I was pleased to not only find that dozens of plants had sprung up over the past week, but also the first monarch eggs of the season. I found that many palnts had several eggs on them, sometimes as many as ten! This is similar to the mass ovipositing I saw 2-3 years ago. In fact, to find a plant today with just a single egg was the exception. If the plant had any eggs at all there was always more than one, and usually around the forming buds of the flowers. Very exciting!
