| This plant grew very quickly in our backyard. It's about 7 ft tall with a stalk and leaves that look like a sunflower's (we thought it was a sunflower and let it grow), but now it's got multiple stalks branching out from the main one, and little white flowers clustered in a cone shape. And as you can see from the picture it's growing next to and crowding out another bush. Does anybody know what it is? Is it a giant weed of some sort? Thanks for your help! |

| Thanks so much, carol23. I read up on pokeweed and it seems like something I don't want in my backyard. I'll be digging it out this weekend! |
