This year I used an American Meadow Midwest Wildflower mix for my wildflower boxes. Some of the wildflowers in the box came back from last year. Usually I can recognize the typical weed (I.e. a local ugly plant that shows up everywhere without being planted). This one plant I was thinking of pulling about a month ago got huge broad leaves kind of like a big dandelion. I let it grow and then it looked like it might be some sort of big poppy. Now it has gotten huge and it doesn't look like a poppy and it's taking up a lot of space in the box. I don't mind if it turns into something nice but if it's just a nasty common weed I probably should get it out of there.
Does anyone have an idea of what this is?

-- As of June 8, major planting operations have ended. Mission Accomplished!
That's Asteraceae and its definitely not a "Goldenrod" (Solidago).
Hey Lazy Koveleski from the planet Houston, is Solid ago the opposite of a hollow ago?
The plant looks more like some sort of thistle and its almost in bloom. If Marky Mark just waits a few more days and takes another picture we will actually see the flowers and know for sure!!!!

like the dread Ox-eye Daisy, a part of their wildflower mix that will just about dominate any planting that goes into year two. A friend of mine ended up with 1/10th of an acre of this stuff.

it's in rich soil, it will put on a lot of vegetative growth before it blooms, much like Cosmos.

is a top down view and it's in better focus than that last picture.
It looks like a weed. Considering that most wildflowers are considered weeds I don't mind. I do mind when they're ugly taking up way too much space. I cut it back exposing a seeded area that couldn't germinate because this plant plopped it's big fat leaves all over. I'm hoping I don't have to reseed that area.
I don't want to see you go to hell. God is no repector of personalities and will accept you as you are. Like I mentioned once before to you, I think you are at the 'moment before the miracle" stage. You know their are are many folks out there who really are for you and would be appreciative of seeing a miracle in your life because they do like you. Until that point occurs, they are just going along with you. However, they do have your best interests at heart. God, on the other hand, is waiting and has freedom fo you. The difference between mercy and grace is that grace is "not deserving what you get" and mercy is "not getting what you deserve". That proves out God is no respector of personalities and available to all. Kinda hard to judge someone who wants the best for you and who will freely give it. =
So Lazy Koveleski from the planet Houston, Do you know that you have gone completely off-topic and that you have become a completely obnoxious bore of a pest. You are far worse than any garden weed could ever possibly be. You are a newsgroup troll. You can look forward to going to that special place in hell for kooks like you if you believe that is where really bad people like you will be going.
So how long after your nervous breakdown were you born again? Were you a drug abuser, alcoholic or some other weak minded, mentally challenged, self destructive waste of space? Despite your delusions of being born again, you know you really haven't changed at all.
Oh my, Lazy Koveleski, you certainly are one of those self-righteous dudes that always has to get the last word!
Why don't you and your wife do something better with your lives like the hokey pokey? Only then will you truly know what its all about!
This should get you started. If you do it right, you might need to use K-Y gel!!!
