While looking for milkweed to see if the monarchs that we had seen in the past few days had anywhere to lay their eggs, I found one plant (5 inches tall) and two more plants (2 and 3 inches tall). I was surprised to see that they were so large, only 3 or 4 days earlier there wasn't any sign of them. The record high temperatures that we have had recently must have made them grow at a very fast rate. I was quite thrilled to find that the 3 inch tall plant had a fresh (yellow toned) egg on it. This is REALLY early!
