Edited 7/21/09. The nice folks over at Garden Web have been kind enough to help me identify this as an ironweed (vernonia gigantea, to be exact.)
I'm no Jack but I think I've got myself a beanstalk growing off the back side of my deck. This baby's been growing at the rate of about two feet per week and has these little berry like blossoms that I swear are going to bloom sometime before I die. If I weren't so sure of this, I'd just cut the monster down. It really isn't attractive at this stage, but curiosity has gotten the best of me. Any ideas?

My friend said the leaves look like a butterfly bush... but the berries aren't right for it to be that. Good luck figuring it out!
Steph, that's exactly what my friend said. The leaves look like a butterfly bush but the berries/buds don't.
Mmmmm ... it looks to me like genetically altered marijuana. I'll be right over to personally check it out.
LMAO! (We'll make brownies)
