Asclepias syriaca
Many of these plants were growing in this area. Many, like this one, were over 3 feet tall. Small Milkweed Bugs were feeding on the seed pods: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/185...

I found a chrysalis, but it had fallen off one of the plants. I have seen a few adult monarchs around though
check the leaves for butterfly eggs.
