Tracking with recent warmer weather, 3 of 4 Asclepias incarnata (swamp milkweed) and 2 of 3 Asclepias syriaca (common milkweed) have finally sprouted in our garden spaces.

The swamp milkweed is regenerating from the plant bases and is approximately 3" tall. Each plant has between 3 and 4 tiny sprouts. A first leaf can barely be seen at the top of each sprout.

The common milkweed sprouts are between 1" and 2.5". There is no mistaking them among the other plants nearby which are also beginning to emerge from their own dormant states.
