Aslepias tuberosa
Yellow right now but will bloom later. It is about 3 feet tall and its stems are green and are like sprouts. About 80 degrees Fahrenheit when we saw it. Has lots of small flowers, or for now small buds.
Lives near water. Gets direct sunlight. Butterflies were seen around it.

We get this sedge in my back yard. I've never seen it "flower", only the seeds that its produced.
The yellow flowers do make this look a bit like Asclepias tuberosa, but this is a sedge (in the family Cyperaceae) possibly a Cyperus species.
