Spring is in full swing here! With the blessing of generous rainfall throughout the winter months, the bluebonnets, which were non-existent last year, are looking beautiful. Clover has been thick along the roadside ditches and other wildflowers are blooming too...verbena, phlox, pink primrose, etc..... Finally got out to take a close-up look for antelope horn milkweed in "the usual spots". It took a lot of looking and some walking through other greenery, but ITS OUT THERE!!!!! Stems are only about 6 inches, but one was already forming a bud. At home, my potted tropical milkweed never died back through the mild winter, so it's off to a roaring start...now just have to get it moved out of the entry porch and out where it's easy for the returning Monarchs can find. Looking forward to a COLORFUL SPRING this year!
Sorry, forgot to take a picture, maybe another day.
