Olga and I went down to Shelby Park this morning to do an assessment of the condition of the milkweed in the river bottom. This is the ONLY known natural stand of Hierba de zizotes inside the city of Eagle Pass and on Public Land. There were
7 milkweed plants! All with multiple ramettes, but none over 6" in height.
They are all within 60' of the river itself and about 8' above water level.

No eggs, sorry to say, but considering that 2 weeks ago there was a carnival parked on top of the site, the plants looked pretty good for dryweather growth.
