Asclepias hunt

After spending most of the last three weeks in the position on my profile page, and learning of a good addition to the kneepads - padded bicycle gloves for the hands (thanks, @mtluczek!) - I had a rare day off on the 17th. Both the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy Field Institute and the Desert Botanical Garden's Seeds of Success programs are actively looking for populations of Asclepias. I searched SEINet for locations on the nearby Tonto National Forest. There were a few, and unfortunately they didn't pan out. But I made the best of things by collecting a few odd specimens and making plenty of observations.
