I've been watching for "wild" milkweed on my regular search routes and hadn't seen any at all. With the drought, roadsides are being kept short in most places to help deter fires. But, at last, we got some badly needed rain last week. Finally saw some low-growing survivor milkweeds in a few places on Sunday both between Marble Falls and Spicewood, TX and also near home in San Antonio. I found 2 eggs in the country and 1 near home. Milkweed is still sparse, but we'll keep praying for more rain. Also, a few more wildflowers are popping up to brighten the roadsides---bluebonnets & Indian paintbrush---beautiful signs of spring in central Texas!!!
