Does anyone know what plant this is?

Fast growing stalk in my courtyard. Sleeps during the day (droops) and wakes up at night. It seems to grow a couple inches each night.
Its much taller than this now, almost to the top of the fence, driving me crazy trying to find out what it is?
Looks like a weed.
Don't know what it's called but I always pull them. Always assumed it was a weed. If you like it let it grow. Why not?
While cool looking, to me it looks like a weed. Let's see what others think.
Yes that's what I thought it was as well until it started getting so tall. So I have just been watching it, before I pulled it. I've never seen a weed that grows like this?? Here is a more recent photo much taller. Thnx for your input.
Thanks everyone, heard it is a horseweed
It looks like an Asian Lilly that hasn't bloomed yet. Mine get quite talk then bloom like crazy. I've had 12-15 blooms on one stalk.
Asiactic lillies do not grow like that.It is a weed
It's a corn plant - we have 2. They grow fast and are very hearty.
Google it!

Yep, looks like Horseweed, if the leaves are a bit hairy, if not Goldenrod if leaves are smooth. Horseweed has white blossoms and Goldenrod has gold blossoms. Both are weeds.
