One and a half ft tall, flat leaves, topped with a prickly green ball of seeds. Anyone?

Thanks, but no it's not that. It's truly a weed.

Datura stramonium, known by the common names Jimson weed is considered a weed by some.

This plant is all green. No flowers. It is wonderful in a dryed arrangement, when the seed balls turn brown.

If it has seed heads, it has flowered.

Maybe some type of coneflower (Echinacea) or rudbeckia? But in order to have a "seedball" it had to have had some type of inflorescence.

No, it has never flowered. The little balls that are very spikey just turn brown. Maybe THEY are the flower?

Perhaps a type of Cyperus. I don't think they are easy to identify.

Carol, thank you for the link you sent to my email. However, I don't click on any emails aside from GW ones, because someone gave me a viris that destroyed my last computer.If you can add my vote, you may do so. Thanks again for the ID. :) Arum
