The first milkweed (A. asperula)emerged March 17 in my MLMP milkweed patch, Rocky Flats Too.
On April 2, I found 26 milkweeds and 5 eggs, the first of the year. There were 2 eggs on one milkweed.
Many of the milkweeds are setting flowers, including stems as short as 6 cm.
An old guy's tale says that the milkweed is telling us that it will be a long, hot, dry summer.
