    Answer

    Dear helenristovski, your plant is a species of Asclepias (milkweed), and look to be Asclepias syriaca (common milkweed), but without knowing where the photograph was taken, it will be hard to confirm this from the image. Location information is vital to supply with the images--it helps narrow down the possible choices. Best wishes.
