Altus and I drove over to our pasture in NW DeWitt County this
afternoon, halfway to San Antonio or 75 miles WNW of Port Lavaca. We found Asclepias asperula across the pasture with stems to eight inches and a few plants with as many as six stems, most three. The great majority were just sprouting! About 4:00, while we were visiting with my brother, a Monarch flew about fifteen feet overhead from SSW to NNE. We all got a good long look at some faded wings gliding over us. In the next thirty minutes Altus and I saw two other Monarchs in the pasture. The wildflowers look great and it is only the middle of March!
