This afternoon, we visited the group of monarchs that spent the winter in Port O'Connor, Calhoun County, Texas, about fifteen miles east of Port Lavaca. We found one of the native milkweeds,
Asclepias oenotheroides, west of Port O'Connor along state highway 185 with a good amount of growth. It seems to have survived last year's drought better than the Asclepias viridis in the county. It is now the first week of March and three varieties of wild, native milkweed are up and thriving from the mid coast to just northwest of San Antonio in Texas.
