TJ on Sep 10, 2013Although I can't see the leaves very well, I agree with Douglas Hunt that it is most probably a weed. Prickly Lettuce (Lactuca serriola L.) which can grow to about 5 ft and yellow Hawk's beard (crepis tectorum L) which is shorter are two possibilities. Can you get a picture of the entire plant still standing?Helpful Reply

Marilee H on Sep 11, 2013Unless it's specifically an invasive species, a weed is just a plant that's growing where you don't want it to. I've had many a self seeding flower I bought become a weed over time!Helpful Reply

Lynne Zimmer on Sep 13, 2013Looks like bitter sneezeweed. (Helenium anarum). It is an annual. but will reseed itself every year and take over . It can be sprayed in the spring. I had 3 acres of it and used a hand self propelled mower with bagger to cut it and get rid of the seeds.Helpful Reply
