Giant Plant (weed?) sprouting in my yard

I am in year one of a five year plan to tackle an overgrown garden situation. Bindweed is my main problem, as it has taken over every surface and no matter how much I have tried to control it, it is overwhelming.

In the past week, this one plant has survived the bindweed and sprung up. It is easily 5 feet tall. It has white flowers similar to a morning glory or petunias but it is a 2" stalk as opposed to a vine.

In that area, I tossed some elephant ear bulbs that I found in the garage. One grew a bit but it is being killed by the bindweed. This anomoly is growing in proximity to where I planted an elephant ear bulb, but I can find no elephant ear variety that it might resemble.

Can anyone help? I have read up on Giant Hogweed, and I am fairly certain that this is not it, but I do not know enough about plants to be sure.

Help!
