This upright-growng weed has popped up in a few places in our garden - and it's a difficult one to remove, with its taproots down to who knows where. Not a terrible weed though, and it has a certain architectural quality – the photos on this page were possible due to my explicitly allowing one stand to grow to the seed stage one year. I removed it before it could spread those seeds, though.
