i will just keep my eyes on it until it flowers / becomes a more established plant so that i may compare it to my Asclepias perennis plants

swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) or aquatic milkweed (Asclepias perennis) but i am not 100% sure because varieties like rubra I am not as familiar with / don't get to see every day / did not grow up tending to
