Narrow-leaf Milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis)

Margot is the first one to point out that these plants were a variety of Milkweed. I also think I have found a different variety with more wooly leaves. I have found these out in the open field as well as very close to the pond in a shaded area. In the shade, I found one that had it's main stock covered in small orange bugs similar to aphids in size. At first I thought they were eggs, but they were moving.
