Can you be the first? 2017 Milkweed Challenge!

Let's focus on phenology: "the study of cyclic and seasonal natural phenomena, especially in relation to climate and plant and animal life."

With Milkweeds, a big question is when and where they are available for Monarchs. To focus on phenology, we challenge you to be the first person to document a milkweed species in Texas in 2017. To get credit:

• The plant must at least be vegetative, dead stalks don't count.

• They observations must be added to the project.
  -The plant must be wild, pampered garden plants don't count.

So far no species had been documented! There are 37 species of Asclepias in Texas, so you have 37 ways to win!!

Here is a guide that might help: https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/wildlife_diversity/nongame/publications/media/tpwd-texas-milkweed-identification.pdf
