I saw our first milkweed (Asclepias viridis) sprouts today. In addition to the ones in the photo, there was another one in an upper meadow, so more are sure to be emerging soon.

The early nectar plants are ready for the monarchs to arrive. There are abundant false garlic flowers (Nothoscordum bivalve), which are a monarch favorite. Also, just starting to bloom are the redbuds, the pear trees, and wild blackberry blossoms. All are buzzing with bees. Now we are eagerly waiting for the beautiful monarchs to fly in.
