    We've got a plant that I'm trying to find out what it is.

    I was originally told it might be Polkweed, but I'm not seeing any of the purple berries / stems / coloring on the plant.

    I've got some nice large close up photos of the plant from about 1&1/2 Months ago & today, closeup of the flowers (today) and closeup of the leaf.
    I hope this helps.

    1) Original
    2) Flowers
    3) Full Plant
    4) Leaf Closeup

    Pokeweed- Phytolacca americana, purple berries come later.
    Stems show more color in full sun.

    Ok, thanks
    I just couldn't find anything about it growing as tall as it was, and as fast
    (First photo was at the end of April, latest today)
