It started with one Asclepias tuberosa (Butterflyweed to you) peeking up a couple weeks ago, but now it's being joined by others, so I'll start looking for Monarch butterflies too. Here's a pic of a vine that is in fact a milkweed Monarchs will eat but because it's not directly in the Asclepias group, it's overlooked and underutilized and pulled up too damn often.

Honeyvine (Cynanchum laeve). Not all milkweeds are Asclepias, especially if they're vines. See also the Matelea group.
