Finally was able to spot milkweed growing on the roadside in some if the "normal" places on CR 404 between Spicewood/Marble Falls. Stems are between 2" or 6/8" and some are already growing small flower buds. They're very close to the ground and quickly being overgrown by other grasses & weeds. Saw 2 monarchs on this short stretch of road. One was bright, the other a bit duller. Found no eggs yet on the plants I checked. Saw one very dull monarch cross my path on Hwy 71, a mile or two west of the Pedernales River. I'd call this a very successful trip! Made me smile!!!
No eggs found yet on my potted milkweed in Austin. :( Will keep checking!
