We paddled and hiked near Osoyoos Lake and found that lots of showy milkweed (Asclepias speciosa) near the lakeshore was in bloom in mid-June.
A few of those images are shared here. Click an image for a full sized view.
We didn’t spot any monarch butterflies this time, but the bloom is more delayed in the Kamloops area so we will watch for them later in June.
