Way up high, on a hill overlooking Comfort, TX (very rocky area), I saw the first milkweed plant I've seen all year (and I've been searching high and low for past week)
After spotting the first plant (very small - longest stem 6" - no buds), I looked over the surrounding acre and only found 4 more plants - all very small, none with buds

I have been involved in Milkweed, Monarch watching/preservation for past 10 years - it's almost always been the week before or after Easter that I first see milkweed in this area. I have yet to see a Monarch but expect to see them within the next week - it seems that I saw more Milkweed yet fewer Monarchs last year than in previous 10 years :( and am praying for a better turnout!
