Yesterday I saw the first native (as in, planted by Mother Nature, not me) milkweed up in the back pasture. It was tiny...about 1.5" tall....but it was up and growing despite very little rain and no prospects of rain. Everything is sprouting in the pastures here, but then not growing much at all because the soil moisture levels are so very low.

I'm seeing more and more monarchs every day. Some are old, faded and worn looking but most I'm seeing now look fresh or young or new....whatever word is appropriate. I don't know how they're flying in these winds! Dawn (per GardenWeb Okla. Gardening Forum)
