We are monitoring milkweed in a large stand just south of Clinton and in the Clinton Community Nature Center. The nature center has a few springs of A. viridis that appeared about 10 days ago and there are also a few sprouts of A. tuberosa that I spotted for the 1st time on March 23; at that time there was about 5 mm projecting above ground. I was unable to spot any in the other location on March 27 despite a serious search so most of the plants have not appeared above ground yet.
I checked the study area on Saturday, March 31 and found several A. viridis plants that were about 5cm tall. I must have overlooked these on the 27th.
