Naomi, what a delightful article. I really enjoyed it and I too believe there must have been milkweed in the Garden of Eden.
Butterflies are such beautiful creatures.
Last year, a huge milkweed stalk sprung forth in my garden. LOL I hope there are some there. I read Jerri's posting and can't believe that you have spring flowers up already. Our flowers won't start poking their heads through the soil for another 2 months at least. Oh, it if is going to be an early spring, which I doubt, we may have crocus in late March.
