I was visiting some cousins this weekend in Bellville (Hwy 36
Brenham/Sealy/Hempstead area), and was shown a mystery plant that
sprouted in a bed seeded with a package of wildflowers.

I have searched through all my books and for hours on the web, but
can't find anything like it. Does anyone here know what it might be?
I took some photos of it he

There are notes below each picture with further information.

Thanks!

My first poke weed grew to about 10 feet tall ( I was enthralled by it)
and the birds crapped purple all over everything. They now get pulled.
