Which plant is this? I never planted it, and somehow, its seeds took root in our yard. It's gorgeous!

That's orange tuberose milkweed, butterflies should be all over it, too.

Actually it isn't. The photographs show a plant with tetramerous flowers without prominent sepals in a racemose inflorescence, while Asclepias tuberosa has pentamerous flowers with prominent sepals grouped into umbels.
I think that it's Cheiranthus cheiri (wallflower) aka Erysimum cheiri, but it might be one of the other Erysimums.
You could be right.
