What is this? Weed?

Summerville, SC(Zone 8a)

I have this growing in severals areas, I'm sure its a weed but its kinda pretty. It has strong stalks, small yellow flowers under the large oval shaped leaves. Should I pull it or leave it?

ya, it looks like weed to me. after all, you already saw the flowers, they are not that big. and i am sure that you can't eat the fruits afterwards, so it is useless.

It's some sort of Senna--S. obtusifolia occurs in your area and looks like a good match http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/58178/

Yes, I would say that is it! Thank you!

So what's a "weed" anyway? It's a pretty plant and butterflies will almost certainly like the flowers. As long as it doesn't invade, I would leave it! "Weeds" are the easiest care plants around!
