    Hello everyone,

    I found a ton of this growing along side the house and haven't a clue as to what it is. I'm guessing it's most likely a weed since it just sort of "popped" up but it's almost too pretty. Please help.

    You may want to wait until it blooms.

    One can only ID it then with any certainty.

    If you don't like the flowers, you can yank it out then.

    I could be way off, but that reminds me strongly of something that puts out long strings of "blue-bell" type flowers, and which was very very difficult to get rid of. If you like the flowers, it's not a weed, but if you hate the invasiveness, it is.

    lorax, it's definitely not Campanula rapunculoides, if that's what it's reminding you of.
