The image linked to this page looks like Black Swallow-wort to me. I think the correct identification would be:

Asclepias purpurescens: Asclepias purpurascens L.

Cynanchum louiseae aka Vincetoxicum nigrum aka Cynanchum nigrum (Black Swallow-wort) Cynanchum louiseae Vincetoxicum nigrum Cynanchum nigrum

I haven't read all the rules for submitting comments, but I thought it was important to have someone look at this since Asclepias purpurescens is a native plant and in some places it is rare, while Cynanchum louiseae is an invasive species.
