Interesting plant

Here is a plant I recently saw at a nearby garden park. Can you identify please?



Thank you.

Wes

 

Looks like maybe one of the Asclepias (milkweeds) to me. Do you have a picture of the whole plant, one that shows the leaves?

 

Thank you Lorax. I can get some photos of the leaves in a day or two. This is, at least a beginning.

Just a follow up Lorax. You are absolutely correct in the identification. I looked up that genus and found the exact flower.

Thanks again for the lead,
Wes
