cant remember the name but i think it has wee blue flowers and is poisonous the seeds are dropped by birds.
you may be a king or a little street sweeper but sooner or later you dance with de reaper.

It's a shame you can't let it continue to grow just to seed what it is......
         
                                          it's very interesting.
