While at the Lourdes College Life Lab, we observed Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) in the wildlife garden. We are Toledo Christian School fourth and fifth grade "Higher Ground" (gifted and talented) students. The temperature today is 47 degrees F. Yesterday's temperature was in the mid 80's. The tallest stem of Milkweed was 8" in the largest cluster of plants. The shortest stem was 1" and that occurred in the smallest cluster. There was a total of 3 clusters with the tallest and largest group having as many as 16 individual plants. We are looking forward to the Monarchs returning and ovipositing. [We take Latin.]
