Antelope Horn Milkweed (Asclepias asperula ) is growing on normal schedule. My report is a few days late for "first leaves." Some have clearly been up several days. As a perennial A. asperula regrows rapidly from roots. The image attached shows one larger plant regrowing over last years dead stems, and an enlarged view of more recently emerged - but also perennial regrowth. There are already hundreds - more likely thousands of individual plants - emerging.

First Monarchs usually arrive last week of March.
