Is this a weed or a flower?? It's growing in one of my front flower beds.I've never seen it before this year.I have in the past planted some seed in there,can't remember what now,but they never came up.So i'm left wondering what this is,it's growing fast and if it's a weed i want to pull it before it takes over.TIA

I had 2 in my backyard and thought for sure they were some sort of beautiful visitor that had found a new home ~ guess I was wrong. Will be pulling out this evening when the sun goes down. ;o)
