My common milkweed was up 3 inches on May 6. My swamp milkweed was up 1 and 2 inches on April 28. My husband did spend some time watering my flower beds because of the dry weather we had this winter. They are forecasting frost for us tonight. It has been a cool and finally wet spring. We welcomed the rains when they finally came.
I have seen Sulphur and White butterflies. There was an orange one in my lilacs but it wasn't a Monarch. I will keep watching.
