It may not feel like winter outside, but it's almost time for Winter Break! We're snow excited for a wonderful week of celebrations (and finals 😅), then it's time to chill out and feel all the holiday vibes with family and friends!

There are 29 recordings of this rare milkweed in Oklahoma, 5 in Oklahoma County, and 2 of those are at PCN! We can't wait for all the monarch butterflies to find the milkweed plants next!
