In my sister's flowerbed in Cobourg, Ontario, two stalks of milkweed have emerged. One is now about 6 inches tall and the other about 2 inches tall. This area is generally warmer than the surrounding area as the heat of the sun is absorbed by her brick house and this flowerbed gets sun most of the day. .

I also visited my friend, Audrey Wilson, who lives nearby (Audrey began tagging monarchs with the Urquharts in 1955 and was editor of the IMS newsletter for a number of years). Her milkweed, located in a semi-shaded area, has not emerged.
