Don’t know yet! [Filler]

I suspect we will consider this to be a “weed.” It’s popped up in the midst of some things we did plant, but it’s nothing we planted and I don’t recognize it yet. I’ve left this photo for my plant systematics expert; perhaps he knows.

Edit Once the flowers started to open, I was suspicious of American Pokeweed. Confirmed by my friend.

@marlboromaam Now that the flowers have started to open, I am suspicious that this is “Phytolacca americana”: American/Virginia Pokeweed! Confirmed by my plant systematics expert-friend with, “yes it it is! Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.” (“Gator’s got your granny.”)

@rhoing ROFLOL! I thought it looked familiar but, I wasn't going to say it. The berries here are a black purple now and the birds beat me to a decent shot. But I'll upload it tomorrow anyhow!
