I walked through The Nature Conservancy's Platte River Prairies on April 16 and found two 2" milkweeds adjacent to the trail. This biodiverse area, which hosts several species of milkweed, received a prescribed burn on April 4. After consulting with Chris Helzer (director of science for TNC's Nebraska program), I think the species that I observed and photographed is most likely common milkweed. The A. syriaca that I'm seeing in and around my home in nearby Hastings has doubled in size over the past week. As of today, a couple of the plants in Hastings have reached the 7" mark.
