These are starting to
take over the flower bed and the yard!
I don't know where they came from. I didn't plant them and they weren't here in 2004, but somehow they seeded into the front flowerbed in 2005 and have shown up in the yard near the oak tree by the driveway.
They are nice when they bloom, but the flowers are small and a very pale lavender color...I guess they are some kind of wild Aster?

They
were not fazed by the brief cold weather we had this winter or the
drought. They died back slightly when it froze but bounced right back
again. I cut them back in January and they are already three feet tall
even though they won't bloom for another five months.
I need to get out and pull most of them up or relocate them to another spot before they strangle everything else.
