| What's this? I like it!
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c153/maryhelt/DSCN2685.jpg It is growing in my yard in Nashville, TN. It has a long stem, over a foot. And it has shot up in a place where the grass gets mowed. Can I move it to a bed so it doesn't get destroyed? If so, what's the best way to do it? |

| Thanks for the fast I.D.! Since it has that massive taproot, is it a bad idea to move it? |

| It would be very difficult to move, and its days are numbered, anyway. It's a biennial that dies after flowering. It's an old-world plant that's become widely naturalized along roadsides, old fields, etc. |
