This plant is growing on the edge of the road between our house and my Daddy's house. I've seen it in the years past and the butterflies love it. It's blooms haven't fully opened yet, but they have little cluster kinda of like yarrow. The plant itself is about 5 feet tall. I wonder if it is butterfly milkweed? Hope someone can tell me what it is. It is a really pretty plant!!

Close up of unopened blooms. Sorry for poor quality of pic!

Possibly a Butterfly Bush...do the flowers grow in clusters in the form of a bunch of grapes?

Common Milkweed looks like this

Queen Anne's Lace looks like this

Butterfly bush looks like this

Of the three, without seeing it clearly and in person I would guess it might be Queen Anne's Lace
