I have not seen much milkweed, until today. I stopped at an area along South MoPac expressway where a prescribed burn had taken place in January, Little Bear Creek Watershed Protection Lands. While looking from outside the fence, the 'lead firebug', Greg? (sorry, I lost his name) happened along and invited me in to examine some of the burned areas. First we found Hierba de Zizotes along the road +/- eight leaves and 4 inches tall. Later found numerous multi stemmed Antelope horns up to ten inches long. Due to time constraints, I was able to examine only the Zizotes and three of the antelope horns. No Monarch eggs and no aphids.
