In my home garden at 387 Circuit Lane, Newport News VA I've noticed on this date the first emerging leaves of the following milkweeds:
Butterflyweed, Asclepias tuberosa, stalks from 1 to 7 inches tall. Whorled milkweed, A. verticulata, 4 inches tall. Showy milkweed, A. speciosa, seedlings about 1 inch tall from stratified seed sown 03/31/07. These are all on the southern exposure of the house. A check of the butterflyweed on the north side of the house shows nothing up yet, it is still shady most of the day there.
