2/19/10 We found the native milkweed, Asclepias oenotheroides, growing wild along roadsides of TX185 between Seadrift and Port O'Connor and along 1289, the cutoff back to Port Lavaca, this afternoon. All locations are in the southern and southeastern half of Calhoun County, the only peninsula county in Texas. Altus walked along several spots and found many plants three to four inches above the thatch and took photos. We looked for viridis along 1289, she walked along but couldn't find any viridis yet. There was a heavy rain here early this morning and it was very wet! We'll keep looking. No butterflies of anykind, after the big freeze, nothing to necter on yet ... many hawks migrating thru!
