I have a plan: Let me look after it.

Dead within the month guarenteed.

If I'd been left to look after the first Triffids, it would have been a shorter book.

I dont think thats a weed... except from the perspective that it might be unwanted.

Easier to tell once it's flowered.

Doesnt look very big, dig it out and bin it, it looks like a small tree of some description, its probably been hiding amongst the rest of the stuff and as autumn is drawing nearer made its presence a bit better known, I recognise it but cant for the life of me think what it is.

Could be an aspen

It's not aspen, I dont think it's a tree at all.

For some reason something a the back of my heads saying hibiscus althought he leaves look a bit big.

Yeah you could be right actually, the new 'wood' is too green for aspen anyway.

My thinking is that it's either a herbaceous perennial or something that would be considered a house plant and that it's just confused because of the weather we've had so it's coming into it's growth late.

It certainly doesn't have the look or growth pattern of an invasive weed so shouldnt be too much trouble to let it grow for a bit, at least till the flowers start to die.
