My Milkweed is leaving out and most of it is blooming. We had a very mild winter here. A good portion of my milkweed didn't die back completely this winter . So the old stalks started leafing out and had flowers quite early...but for the most part I would say that the newest flowers started about the end of March and the stalks are pretty much filled out with new growth coming at the base and new plants in the last week.
I have had several sitings of adult Monarchs this week and most of them appear to be older butterflies judging by their faded color.
