Altus and I went on safari to our pasture 75 miles east of San Antonio in northwestern DeWitt County on Sunday, March 2nd. We found Asclepias asperula up all over the pasture. Some has been up awhile and the older plants got burned by the freeze there last week. Many new sprouts are just popping thru but we did find one plant with nine stems and some flower buds. We also found a few A. oenotheroides plants scattered to four and five inches. Things are dry and the area could use some rain for the upcoming wildflower season, not to mention the crops and pastures. Some quick photos at: http://www.asclepias.org/mar0208.html
