    It's a type of Euphorbia although which one I'm not sure:WINK1: they can be quite weedy while others people grow in their borders and they all have a characteristically white sap which brings some people out in a nasty rash if they get it on their skin:thumbsup:

      It's not an unattractive plant. If it popped up in my garden i would let it grow and flower,
      but control its seeding.
