The second graders planted a butterfly garden in honor of a friend who passed away earlier this year. We saw our first common milkweed this morning (5/30). No eggs, but we're hopeful! The plant was about 8 inches tall. We'll keep an eye on it and post more sightings as we observe them.

I'm not exactly sure when it emerged - it just sort of seemed to appear out of no where! Last Thursday (5/22) my students were in the garden and we didn't see it, so I would guess it pushed it's way out 5/23 or 5/24 and quickly shot up.
