More native milkweeds are showing up! We looked for it a week ago but found it today ... we found A. oenotheroides (Hierba de Zizotes or Zizotes milkweed) along the peninsula at the north end of the Lavaca Bay Causeway here in Calhoun County ... right where we left it in December. In one spot Altus counted 22 plants in a spot 3ft by 2ft ... plants to almost 6 inches. That means it should also be up between Seadrift and Port O'Connor in the SE part of the county ... now we need to go out and look around the county and see if we can find some A. viridis which should be up in the roadsides but will take some walking to find.
