Two weeks ago I searched in my usual spot for milkweed plants and found none. This Sat. I found shoots at least 3in. tall--very healthy looking. We had a week of nice warm weather.
I read the report about a Monarch sighting in Kittery Point, ME. My class has a hypothesis. Our local Walmarts, Lowes, H.Depot, etc. are getting huge shipments of nursery flowers that come from N.J. Could that Monarch have hitched a ride on plants? I recently saw a Viceroy in a K-Mart nursery.Christine Smith
