Yeah, I've got a good feeling it's a weed. I didn't plant, it just
popped up one day and I decided to let it grow thinking it
would stop at 1 foot, but it's up to 42" now. No buds or
flowers. It looks like one of those things where if you ever
did see it, as in walking through a bunch of brush or a high
grassy area, you'd likely just walk on it and crush it without
ever knowing about it. :-) I probably have seen it on one
of the grassy knolls at the beach here in the Tampa Bay
at one point or another.

The main stem has white fuzz all the way up. The
leaves at the top look somewhat like blades of grass.

Could be cosmos, the common orange wildflower.

Nope. It's a weed. I know I've seen it and pulled it up, but I don't
remember what it is. Why aren't there any good weed ID sites? Va Tech
has one, but it's only for grass-type weeds and takes *forever* to
use, as all the pictures are way under-compressed.
