Monarch Waystation #299 at the Virginia Living Museum reports a common milkweed [Asclepias syriaca] that is already 9 inches tall on this date. It is sprouting close to the south wall of the Education Center,in the midst of flower beds that are being reconfigured as we renovate the Children's Learning Garden. The fact that it is very close to the building makes me think the building itself contributed extra warmth to an already warm spring & allowed the milkweed to attain this height while others that were in the garden further away have not.
