Oenothera?

Hmmm, it does look a bit like oenoethera, but the only one I've ever gotten in my yard is biennis, which has a different rosette and smooth leaves. Maybe birds brought it--this is not far from my feeder. Any thoughts on what species it might be?

Thanks

Everything looks like Pokeberry to me right now.

Hi,
It looks sort of like my Oenothera fruticosa. Here's the basal foliage of mine before it becomes like your second pic.

If so, the basal foliage will be evergreen, and it is a clump forming plant. It does not have invasive runners like some varieties.

Thwack! That's me hitting my forehead. I PLANTED it there!!! Remy, you helped ID this plant last year when it was blooming. I got overwhelmed with new plants last year when I removed a garden, and this was one of the first I planted. I must not have labeled it. I got such a feeling of deja-vu when you posted, but it wasn't until I saw "Sundrops" that everything connected. I can't believe I even agreed that it looked like Oenothera, but I still didn't remember this. My brain is mushier than I thought.

I need to spray it with deer-repellant, so I'm glad I took the time to get it IDed.
