Lets try this again.

From the plant guro's I need a little help identifying this plant for a school project. It was found in Nacogdoches texas along a stream. It is about a foot tall, and the leaves are about 2.5 inches long. The pic is of a young plant. Any help will be appreciated! Thanks again

Only thing I can come up with is possibly a young Milkweed. I'm not sure though

dont think its milkweed (smooth edged and hairy leaves). are these leaves hairy (if so...top, bottom, or both)?
