Monarch Waystation #271 reports a female monarch laying eggs @10:05 am in the front yard while I was weeding and cleaning up. She visited Purple milkweed sprouts, butterflyweed new leaves and tropical milkweed plants. An informal and non-meticulous search of plants while gardening yielded 5 eggs on purple milkweed, 1 egg on a common milkweed sprout, 2 eggs on tropical milkweed. Presumably same female was seen laying eggs on swamp milkweed in back yard @ noon and 1 egg was found on this plant later.
