Altus and I went on milkweed safari today and found a good crop of Asclepias viridis growing to 12" stems with blooms on a few of the stems but bloom buds on many more. We found one plant that had eight stems. This is a week or two later than norm but with the two hard freezes last month, one morning it got to 14 dF, we were afraid of that. All would be better if we could get some rain ... just some would be nice. We have some nice photos and will try to upload in the morning ... which is after noon for us now! We also saw a nice crop of young A. oenotheroides plants at the north end of the causeway on Saturday.
