RE: weed or flower?

I'm not certain, but it looks like tall yellow evening primrose (Oenothera elata hookeri). It sends up a stalk ~2 feet high with yellow bell-shaped blooms. It just showed up in my flowers one year. Nice surprise. I like it and saved seeds.

proudgm_03 - if you can't get answers on id here there is a separate 'Name That Plant Forum' here on GW which can find you the name of most things.

I don't know the particular Evening Primrose species PITD mentions but certainly it has Oenothera looks.
