I finally found the first milkweed this weekend (5/12), but it's so hard to catch emerging! I'd looked in my garden a couple of times earlier and had overlooked it. I'm estimating it emerged sometime last week. The two stalks were 5 and 10 cm tall, but the leaves still had not yet spread from the stems on either plant, making them very difficult to see. (Do monarchs ever lay eggs on the leaves that haven't unfolded yet?)
