Mystery plant
Can anyone help me identify this plant. I have not been as diligent as I should be with weeding this year. This plant came up and is very tall. Almost 4 feet tall! the stalk is very thick and the leaves are huge and very soft and velvety.
Has anyone ever seen a plant of this type?
Y’all come back now!

About the author
I am a work at home Mom of two of the best boys ever. I am a Nationally Certified Master Groomer and have been grooming out of my home for the last 12 years.
We have recently moved to Greenbrier Tn on 27 acres. We are new to the "homesteading thing" but we are excited to learn. We hope to be filling our farm with many critters and a garden.
We are homeschoolers so everything is a unit study to us. It has been fun to see the boys help Dad cut firewood. We will also be learning how to build a chicken coop in the near future as well.
I have been making handcrafted soap lately as well and I am seeing an improvement in that business as well. It is all natural vegetable and goat milk based soaps. Can't wait to share this experience with everyone.
It does look like a sunflower and I assumed it was until I felt the leaves and they are so soft and velvety. It does not look like there is a bud for a flower either. Weird, and no it is not underneath a feeder but that is not to say they could not have dropped one here. Thanks for reading!
is it near where you have a bird feeder?? because it kinda resembles a sunflower plant,cant say for sure though.
