Mystery plant in my yard

Please help me solve a mystery :) I have seen this plant in my yard last year and I searched in vain for some idea of what it might be. I don't see anything like it growing nearby. This year I found it in my garden so I pulled it up and planted it in a pot to see what it will grow up to be. Can anyone help me identify this mystery plant?

It will grow up to be a really, really big tree. We have a baby tulip poplar, planted by birds, that has grown from a seedling, as you have, to 20 feet tall in about 8 years. It's blooming this year for the first time and we are quite excited about it. Great tree.
