Now this is a known butterfly weed (along with an emerging TX star hibiscus) just across the brick path next to the hollyhocks and hidden by the short fence in the front.

Now it looks similar but I don't think its the same plant.

Do you think the second pic is goldenrod? Should I monitor it and see what it does? Or yank it out? What do ya'll think?

I'll get out there and finish up except for this "questionable" plant and hope it gets sunnier out there for a better shot--its "teasing" us with the possibility of rain. And then I'll post another pic--with no other weeds.
