This just came up in a container. Instead of pulling it, I let it grow. It has a very pretty yellow bloom. Shown at the end of March. (San Antonio, Tx.)

Here is a Cabbage White butterfly scoping this plant for oviposition on March 20, 2008. I still need to check for any larvae about now, (April 6).
