I have been waiting for the first monarch. It happened at 9:56 a.m. Thursday the 30th. I hadn't seen any milkweed at that point. So I decided to give it a real look. I went to one of the sunniest places where I had seen milkweed last year. Sure enough, there were the plants. Some with as many as 8 leaves, and the tallest about 10 inches, but most in the 4 - 5 inch range. So they must have sprouted in the last week as we had unusually cold weather until the last few days.
