I don't know Tony - but it's only a weed if you don't like it there. It looks good to me, but someone else might shoot me down in flames for saying so.

In Hungary we have ragweed, also known as mimosa that looks like this. I also remember from years ago a garden plant called "golden rod" which looked like this too.

Yes Chrispook - I wondered if it was golden rod - Latin: Solidago.

I wouldn't call it a weed - people certainly cultivate 'Golden Rod' in their borders and have done for years! I remember it in my childhood garden.....

I leave a clump at the back of my long garden for it's brightness. It is often included in the cut flower bouquets sold in fall, so it must be appealing to a number of folk.

Yupp, its Golden Rod, the herbaceous perennial, spp Solidago. Its easily dug up for division or removal!!.. but it looks just fine where you have it.

yep, i like it here Tony, it looks great! i'd leave it if i where you and speaking as a florist if you wanted to buy this as cut flower would cost you about £15 for this little lot! defo not a weed!

Hey i moved a Very Large Clump of this last year&planted it in back garden cos i didnt no what it was? Glad i didnt throw it away now as its shooting up again :)
