Its averaging around 6-7 ft tall.
All the nectar lovers are working it really hard.
No Hummingbirds seen .
Everything from Hummingbird Moths to Bee's are present.
I'm thinking a member of the thistle family as the seeds are very wind driven.
As you can see in the last picture heading into the seed stage.

I seriously doubt that is in the thistle family. Wrong type of flower head.

Sort of looks like my lilac, but it blooms in late May or early June.

Is it an ornamental bush or a weed? We have some similar to that around here that is a very evasive weed but doesn't grow more than 4' tall and likes old farms and such much like nettles.


Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Wrong leaves for lilac ours have more Aspen shaped leaves I though they were a lilac at first also.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Break a stem off, does it ooze white milky sap? If so milkweed.

I’ve never seen milkweed get 6-7 feet tall. Is the plant woody at all? Annual or perennial??

Joe Pye, if you're a beekeeper its the harbinger of the fall nectar flow. Aster and goldenrod come on right on it's heels. You'll see bees bringing in black, actually deep purple, pollen from joe pye. We are still a couple weeks away here. Kudzu is on full bloom and prickly ash just wrapped up.

Several species of milkweed Do Not ooze a milky sap through the stem (like the ones visited by the Monarch Butterflies) when damaged or sheared ---- Swamp Milkweed would be a common one that doesn't but the plant shown looks like Joe-pye to me.

Looks like a pye weed but leaves look wrong to me. Kind looks like Queen of the prairie.
