It would be easier if you could see the stem, too. How big is it? Looks almost like burdock which is something she definitely does not want! But it's hard to tell with the color washout from the direct sun and with no size reference.
perhaps it is dusty Miller.
I'm thinking dusty miller
I tend to agree with Cynthia Whitney ... it really resembles Burdock. Google "photos of Burdock" and that might help you. Are the leaves more velvet-like underneath the leaves? Re Elaine Hassen's suggestion of Dusty Miller, I've never seen it that large looking but again, perhaps it only looks large in the photos. Can you tell us the size of the leaves?
I have the same plant and its Dusty Miller.
it is NOT NOT Dusty Miller!!!!!!! Dusty Miller is in the Family of Artemisia and is Silver white with small 2.5 inch deeply cut leaves and in the second year gets small fluffy yellow flowers.. I do think it's Burdock as stated before
??? maybe African Violets, my Mom grew them, I can't. ?????
Burdock.
It's dusty miller. Look and see.

Not dusty miller!
Yep, NOT even close to dusty Miller.
Looking at the pics above. Dusty Miller has very deep serrated leaves and this plant does seam some what serrated but seems more ruffled and long. When in doubt, check it out when it flowers. Burdock and Dusty Miller have different growing behaviors.
Not Dusty Miller!!!!!
Oh, don't forget, different species may really change the look of a leaf or how the flowers form on a plant. I live in NJ, and do lots of wild crafting. I visit GA all the time. If I have to give someone change, when I pull my hand out of my purse, 99% of the time a bud, seed or some matter of herb treasure is going to fall out of my purse. Just another way of a species that grow in one place can most easily show up somewhere else. Not to say how many pants have many species grow in the same area.
It's a weed!
This is the under side of Burdock.
It could possibly be a Begonia , most varieties have the wavy edges and some have the velvety feel to the leaves. Or perhaps a Geranium. You could just take a leaf to a local nursery, they could probably identify it for you.

Don't laugh but it sort of looks like rhubarb....need to see the stalks. Otherwise, I am thinking a weed.
http://www.floretflowers.com/shop/dusty-miller/ There are different cultivars, and this is newer one.
Not dusty miller, leaves resemble Gerbera daisy leaves but I am more inclined to say it's weed.
I weed is a plant that no one has figured out a way to make it useful. It is not helpful as an identifier.
Burdock that is what I was thinking also. You do NOT want to plant that.
I am certain this is Burdock , common in PA where we used to live, but not in FL. Here is a link with a slideshow of Burdock. It is edible (artichoke flavor) and highly medicinal. This articles explains the properties of the plant , how to prepare and eat it. It's a surprise guest in our gardens, but beneficial.

I used to work in garden centers and greenhouses in PA, as well as lived on a 80 acre spread of nursery, orchard, woods, open fields. Burdock has fuzzy leaves, rippled around the edges, can grow 3-6 feet and is a perennial. This plant is not dusty miller, nor rhubarb. I used to grow both. There is no such thing as a useless weed. In nature, everything has a purpose, if only to balance out other things. I do companion planting, and I use natural ground covers for beauty and as living mulch to protect vegetables and flowers from hot sun, until they can shade themselves. My yard has virtually no grass. It's a mowable mixture of wildflowers with pretty tiny flowers of all colors. When I bought this place, there were tall Kalanchoes growing around a Sumatran Date Palm. I had never seen this variety. I researched and found them to be from Columbia, where the former owners were from. This plant is considered to be an invasive species in other countries. Horses in Hawaii can get sick from munching on it. But it is medicinal for arthritis. It's is a handsome tall plant with blooms that start off looking like little pink/green striped watermelons. Later, a pink flower opens up from the bottom. Very exotic looking. I enjoy things I plant on purpose and welcome things that grow wild. I certainly want the wildflowers that attract bees, butterflies and birds for pollination.. Main point: all plants are useful. If you want something out of your garden, transplant or pot it up. I have done that with wild grasses. Wild plants are usually hardy and make attractive accents to a patio, path, border. My neighbor's yards are very neat, but sparse. Mine is a tropical green paradise of self-caring mixtures of wild and domestic plants.
I harvested the plants . they were growing in a cluster. they had short stalks to the leaves and it stinks. the roots were think like, almost like a carrot but bigger around. the under side were slightly lighter in color.
It looks like a weed that grows in "wild" areas here in Southern Mn. Smaller leaves then rhubarb and "fuzzy".
It kind of looks like kale. Those look like the bottom side of the leaves. Can we see the top side? That might help.
This is burdock, or as we sicilians refer to this delicacy as "cardoons". The stems are edible, the leaves are not.
You are correct, I found it to be just that. But there must be a smooth leaf burdock too, because we have had burdock in our yards before and it was smooth.
