Altus and I went looking for Asclepias viridis along some of the county roads in southwestern Calhoun Co. about six miles southwest of Port Lavaca. Altus had to walk near the fencelines but found the native milkweed sprouting with stems about three inches long. It has been cool and wet so they are a little behind. We need a couple of years of good growing after the two years of extreme drought in this area. We are 640 miles from the sanctuaries and while milkweed hunting we will be also watching for the early remigrants now.
