Need ID please.

14 years ago

I have had these stupid things show up for a number of years but this year they are just insidious! I've visited a dozen sites trying to identify it but I just give up.

It is about 8" tall, max.

Thanks!

I let them grow where I need a foliage plant to fill in while the spring bloomers are maturing. Where I don't want them I just pull up. One of the easiest plants to pull.

I do not know what eats them but most by the end of the season have bug holes in the leaves but none of the surrounding plant have been touched.

Thank you SOOOOOOOOO MUCH! I was going nuts trying to find out. They aren't really ugly, but I knew I didn't plant them!
