Late this afternoon I drove out to Bee Caves, TX along RR2244 looking for wildflowers especially milkweed. I was able to find Antelope horns (asclepias asperula) on 3 of the 5 sites I examined. The stems ranged from 2-10 inches long. I examined about 30 individual plants, and I found two eggs. My recollection is that the antelope horns usually sprawl out about 12 inches before they begin flowering, but several of the 4-5 inch stems already had flower buds forming.
