That's my guess, hoping for confirmation from someone more knowledgeable. Thank you! (Picture taken in upstate NY, zone 5 in the second week of June.)

Its got the look of an Oenothera?

Oh, that's probably correct. Now that I think about it I do recall evening primose blooms in the vicinity, but didn't know what the seed pods looked like & never paid that close of attention to the plants either. I was also more interested in tracking down some gentian since some are said to be native to the area. Will have to keep looking! Thanks again, TDG!

Those are flower buds rather than seed pods.
