Our milkweed plants here in the Mid-Coast of Maine -- specifically Glen Cove, Rockland, Rockport areas have emerged. Yesterday, May 26, the milkweed plants are about one foot high. I have never kept tabs on milkweed emergence (estimated May 19) so I have no comparison, but I have always watched for lupines which typically bloom in June and I have noted that some -- not all by any means -- but some lupines are already blooming. This is VERY early. I wait all year to see lupines well into June -- not May. And our lilacs are almost gone by. Again, typically, lilacs begin to bloom around Memorial Day.

I have not seen any Monarch Butterflies.
