Feb 16: My brother called from our pasture in northwestern DeWitt County, about 65 miles ESE of San Antonio, and said he found sprouts of Asclepias asperula that were at least three inches long this afternoon. This is the first of the three native pasture milkweeds we will be looking for this week. When it is warm like it has been this "winter" we usually start looking seriously for A. asperula (inland) and oenotheroides, and viridis (mid-coast) on about Valentine's Day. We've had monarchs, eggs, and larvae all winter here at Port Lavaca on the mid-coast of Texas ... nothing unusual.
