Looks like some kind of wild Lily? We have the same shape and type
flower here called Tiger Lilys, but are orange color. Nice flower
anyway. I would keep them unless they are raiding the garden. They do
tend to spread loosly...

They're not big enough for lilies, are they? Tese flowers are
maybe 1/2" long.

Lilies have six petals, not five. This looks like a bellflower (Campanula).

Campanula rapunculoides

Its an attractive but aggressive weedy species introduced from Europe. It is
not a native wildflower.

If you don't know enough basic botany to be able to distinguish a dicot from
a monocot, you should not be guessing the ID of plants. There is absolutely
nothing liliaceous about the plant. Its a Campanula.

RUN RUN RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
Campanula rampunculoides - often called cancer of the garden. It will send
tiny tendrils through the soil 10 feet or more. Pulling up the leaf on top
will only encourage it to send up leaves from any point along the root.

Absolutely. I hate that damned thing. It came in with a peony from
my mother's garden - I've been battling it ever since. It has a huge
root way down deep, unless you get that, it'll keep coming back.

Thanks guys, it's growing wild all over the neighborhood, and
it's very pretty.

So how can someone bring it from the neighbor's lawn, to their own
yard?

Why would anyone want to? This plant is horribly invasive and almost
impossible to irradicate.

If it's all over the neighborhood already and they think it's
pretty, they would want it.

Education is key. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Purple
loosestrife is 'pretty' yet it's decimating our native wetland plants,
like Lobelia cardinalis, the cardinal flower. I just hate to see
anyone spread such an invasive plant.

This isn't the wilds, it's the burbs of Lakewood, Colorado.

right. and it's an *invasive* plant. the point being that you
canNOT control it's spread. you may think it's pretty, but
will your neighbors? how about the people in the next town
over? or in the next state? you can't keep it from invading
the wild.
and yes, invasive weeds *do* travel that far. purple
loosestrife expands it's range at something like 25
miles/year.
