Single plant popped up in our front lawn after recent rains. Not recorded here before and unknown how it got here. Plant was removed after pics taken.

Quite often comes with landscaping material and topsoil.

Thanks Mike. We did have soil delivered in 2018 which we put some on our lawn, so maybe it was waiting until the rains to grow. (I'm not sure how long the seeds last for).
