While out at our pasture in NW DeWitt County, 60 miles ESE of San Antonio, we were observing the Asclepias asperula and looking for eggs, much, many eggs. We saw sixteen Monarchs fly by during the afternoon. The shock was when Altus found several, actually more than several ... , a bunch of small plants of Asclepias viridiflora in some ground that had been disced by a seismograph crew in January from 3 and 4 inches up to 8 inches. We had this milkweed in the pasture last seen several years ago and photographed to blooming stage back then, almost nine years ago! Glad to find it again!!! http://mcmc.homestead.com/31711.html
