Can anyone help me identify this plant with tiny orange flowers

This has been on the site before, but I can't seem to find the post. While it looks pretty, it is a terrible weed! Yank it out immediately as once it blooms it spreads rapidly and you will have a big problem eradicating them. I had them too.

Two very different ideas.

If it smells funky when you brush against it, Summac. You'll have to dig out the roots or it will keep coming back.

The bud looks like squash or pumpkin to me.

Might be a pumpkin plant, or another squash...either way they take over.

This is not a pumpkin or squash - they are vines and do not grow upright like this, and they also have very different stems & leaves. It's a weed, dig it up.

Definitely a WEED!! if you live in a rural area just drive by all the farm fields and you'll see these buggers everywhere...they start very small then grow to Godzilla proportions....PULL IT GIRL !!

Sunflower WEED. get rid of it.

When I was growing up on a farm in eastern Nebraska, these weeds were everywhere. The folks referred to it as "Button Weed". The leaves are fairly large and very soft. When we played "house" out under the trees, we would pick the seed pods and open them...the white seeds became "salt" and the mature pods with their black seeds became "pepper". I suppose we were responsible for spreading these plants all over!!!

Could be a japanese lantern plant

Definitely a weed.
