We were out in our pasture in NW DeWitt County (60 miles ESE of San Antonio) checking the native Asclepias asperula for quantity, growth and eggs. We found a good deal of asperula with up to fifteen stems and thirteen blooms. The most important thing was we found Monarch eggs all across the pasture ... up to two eggs on a stem. We got to teach my brother and a visitor we brought along how to lift the stems of the low growing asperula and what the eggs would look like. In the approx two hours watching for Monarchs we saw sixteen fly by. http://mcmc.homestead.com/31711.html
