Plant identification please.

This specimen has come up the garden, its currently about 5' tall, nice leaf structure, but no real signs of flowers, probably came from commercial bird seed. It’s a nice-looking plant, but I should i.d. it.

Thanks........Gareth.

Well it's not Cannabis (common in bird feed)
Long shot - could be a poppy? They come in all shapes and sizes, large and small. I've had them grow to 4 or 5 ft in sheltered corners.

One characteristic is that if you break a stem you get a milky white sap.

Well yes that looks more like it!

Everybody at it around here, trying re-wild the neighbourhood and bragging about their ragwort. I'm all for it - just cut the grass 2 or 3 times a year max and discover how interesting "weeds" really are. Wall Lettuce my favourite.

I think we have a posative identification, as it isn't toxic or illegal it can stay for awhile.....Thanks Dr Phil.

This can be classed as an invasive species as it spreads underground! See Ambrosia artemisiifolia - Wikipedia

Is that a rose bush centre left ?
Ambrosia may well strangle it in the dark of night
Underground tubers can be difficult to eliminate
That plant should be eliminated !

Roundup ASAP !!! These invasive plants are a real problem just look at Himalayan Balsam it is causing untold problems particularly around river systems but has now spread into the countryside— it needs a huge national eradication program but it will take several generations of us to eradicate it ! Similar problem with grey squirrels!

No there's too much hysteria about these things. Non of these weeds are a problem in a small garden and are easily dealt with, even without Roundup. The fact is, all plants are "invasive" but some are better at it than others, if they happen on the right niche. - very often disturbed ground. See "Ruderal species"
People like scare stories!

It's gone, we dug it out, there were small tubers around the rootball.

Someone's never had Japanese knotweed in their garden, or seen anyone hospitalised by giant hogweed.

This year seems to be a bumper one for barebine/bineweed, around here it's getting like Kudzu in the US!☠

As someone whose first introduction to Genesis was post-Gabriel (by then, the musical equivalent of beige) it's always interesting to see the early stuff.
