Altus came home from school in Victoria today and on the loop at the intersection of US59 and US87 saw quite a bit of Asclepias viridis blooming over about three acres. This is on the eastern outskirts of Victoria. So there is mature milkweed for the returning monarchs where there has been some rain ... and it is happening in Texas tonight! The airport, a few miles away, reports over four inches of rain for the year, one of few lucky spots. Viridis could be like this along the sides and in the median of US59 almost all the way to Houston, we hope so. Harlen
