Asclepias tuberosa
Milkweed
Lower portion of right of way
They lay multiple generations throughout the summer then migrate south in September. Look for black, white, and yellow striped caterpillars on the milkweed. I believe you can get a glimpse of the migration up high in the mountains.
Nice spot. Butterfly weed is a type of milkweed. This is where monarch butterflies lay eggs.
