based on the shape of the flowers my guess is some sort of milkweed.

Giant Milkweed is likely. Mine became very large like this before being ravished by Monarch caterpillars (whatever their scientific name;) within a weeks time and ended up without a leaf on it 🙁 hahaha

Hahaha I used to live near where this picture was taken but I was genuinely shocked to realize this was a milkweed, and one I’d never seen before, and that it was growing in New Mexico.
I never saw this growing when I lived there, and I lived in and around Albuquerque for years.
I love it!! I wonder if you can prop it up at all in like a little cage or with some stakes to keep it off the sidewalk?
It’s way better than the cactus that sometimes grow sideways into the walkways or the miles of black widows that make webs from the ground to the bottom of buildings all along Central in some places.
For negotiating while walking, I mean. I love a good cactus.
With a good distance between me and the cactus. Preferably.
