What's this?

It grew on its own, got three more like this one.

I can't positively ID it but it looks milkweedy

Yay for the monarch butterflies

Apocynacious looking bastard. Does it bleed latex when a leaf is pulled? Probably a dogbane considering the branching.

I do agree that dogbane is a possibility, it's hard to see the stem which I think would help.

OP, see this: https://www.ontario.ca/document/weed-identification-guide-ontario-crops/dogbane

It looks similar, that might be it, but couldn't it be Euphorbia Marginata?

Anyway I think of leave it alone for sometime to get a positive ID, thinking about getting an Asclepia for sometime to get more butterflies and then this one shows up on its own. And if it's Euphorbia I won't be sad because it looks beautiful.

Either way I have to make sure my dogs don't get to it.
