Altus and I went looking for milkweed about seven miles west of Port Lavaca at 4:15.
Altus spotted a light green bloom and I checked with my 8x40 binocs and confirmed an Asclepias viridis with a full bloom about 25 feet from the edge of the road. I located another about 18" away with three stems but not yet blooming. Has been very wet in this part of Texas since early Dec and the wildflowers are beginning to bloom in great numbers. This is the first native milkweed that we have found, three more to look for.
