Finally! As of last weekend I could find NO evidence of milkweed in the gardens. Thursday night Lincoln had 6 inches of rain! Flooding in low lying areas, evacuation of some areas even, water in our basement, and now, today I see milkweed that is at least 10 inches tall! And in at least two places. This is the milkweed that grows pretty much straight up on a single stalk and blooms with a beautiful, large round cluster of flowers, and very highly sweet smelling. I believe it is Asclepias syriaca. From nothing to wow in only a few days!
