Thanks Cat for all the information and the great links! I really appreciate it. I don't know if these plants are worth growing in my garden beds. I am thinking they may have gotten in there from bird droppings, but I am not sure.

I also found another probably native, fast growing plant. I believe it is Mikania scandens. And I found out that it is a host plant for Metalmark Butterflies. So this will probably stay. Looks really pretty in bloom in the Fall. But it too is a bit aggressive growing.
