Fleabane

Does this just randomly grow in the wild? I've never seen it before. Its hanging out around the side of my house with a bunch of weeds.

Esh, I apologize. After posting this I completely forgot it, forgot to protect the green seed pods from the deer, forgot to harvest. Today I remembered. Apparently as the pods ripen they become less enticing to the deer, though, so there were a number left, and instead of the handful I was praying would be left, I'm pouring out hundreds of little flat seeds from each pod, picking them off my sweater and sweeping them up off the floor, helping to explain their gentle proliferation around outside so far. Although similar to formosanum in general, I don't think that can be it because I would have recognized that name when I got it and wouldn't be recalling it as some obscure species. Also, although lovely, it doesn't exactly knock a nice Formosa out of the ballpark, so I don't think someone would have been spreading an inferior selection with Vince Dooley's name attached to it. He's acquainted with a lot of plant collectors, too, and its route to me was through plant people. As is obvious, though, my memory is letting me down these days. In any case, thanks very much for answering. If anyone wants seed of an unidentified lily that is perfectly happy here in Georgia and prone to surprising with flowers waving overhead from unexpected places, just let me know. I have plenty of seed; and, although I can't provide the identity, I also didn't find any lilies on a Georgia invasive plants list.
