This afternnoon a colleague, Al Woodhouse and I discovered some swamp milkweed shoots, about 30 cm high, growing near a wetland in Cambridge Ontario where I conduct Outdoor Education programs for elementary school students. Upon return to his work site in Waterloo about 30 km further north, he observed common milkweed (height 45 cm)growing as well. We have had several days of warm (20+ degrees C) that has accelerated the development of a number of spring plants including Small Yellow Lady's Slippers and Fringed Polygala. We also saw a number of spring azures, 3 sandhill cranes, and some of the first damselflies to emerge as adults in our area this spring.
