I don't know where it came from,but it is sowing itself in several places.




At the moment, it is setting seed, so long seed-bearing spike - picture


not good enough to show.



Picture I (hope) I uploaded to NG is before seed.




Would REALLY love ID.




Where is this mystery plant located?


Front of house. North facing.

No flowers yet. Tbis and similar ones have been in the garden for over a year, but this is the first time the one in front is setting seed.

What did the flowers look like?

Don't know. None as yet.

(Tubular, some number of petals, etc.) This would help to pin down a

family for the mystery plant.


Grateful for reply, but have no other info. Hope picture was clear?

Setting seeds before flowering? I don't think so. Either those are
flower buds, or else the flowers already bloomed but were not noticeable.
