This morning at 11am we saw our first monarchs of the season -- two faded females laying eggs on the native milkweed (Asclepias viridis). I had been checking the milkweed in the pastures for eggs, but had not seen any before today, though with 10 acres there easily could be some I didn't spot! Very happy to see these long-journeyed monarchs arrive to this wildflower & milkweed nursery. They came at a good time in the day with lovely weather (partly cloudy, 75 degrees F, breezy) -- getting ahead of the thunderstorms with strong winds that developed this afternoon.
