My milkweed plants don't look too healthy. I suppose the hot dry summer of 2012 was very hard on them. One plant has leaves about 2" now. We'll see how they go. The other plants only have a couple of leaves. Maybe when the temperature gets warmer the plants will produce leaves faster.

P.S. This isn't about Monarchs but as I worked in the yard today, a black swallowtail butterfly flew by hunting for a flower to get nectar from. Apparently what I have in bloom wasn't satisfactory.
