I'm really happy! Finally...some of the milkweeds that went dormant are coming up! So late. It had been making me crazy checking them for new growth and seeing...nothing! Of course, I have a few potted milkweeds that aren't dormant, but this cold winter, every single milkweed in the ground went completely dormant! So they're getting a late start now. The rains help...thank goodness for rain, the spring temps help even more! A Black Swallowtail emerged, so when the precip clears up later, I'll release it. I saw a black butterfly flying around recently, but didn't see it well enough to be sure which kind. I haven't seen any Monarchs or tigers (or any large butterflies other than I already mentioned) so far.
