I found this plant growing in with another plant after I potted it. The plant I potted was located along a fence at the edge of my property adjacent to a road. I have exhausted my known resources in figuring out what it is. If it's helpful, I am in North Florida, in zone 8b/9a.

It was not there when I put the other plant in the pot, so it just popped up. And I gave them a pot of their own last week. Their long leaves seem rather thin. There are three in the pot. They wilted for several hours after being repotted but looked healthy the next day. The photo represents about a month's growth. They are between 6-10 inches tall now. If anyone needs further information concerning the plant I will do the best I can. I'm new to gardening.

I'll guess and say Asclepias curassavica/Tropical Milkweed.

It finally produced some blooms a couple weeks ago, at which point I can definitely say it is Tropical Milkweed. It didn't look much like the Tropical milkweed plant growing elsewhere in my yard, so I was a bit confused. Thank you so much!
