Velvetleaf: Abutilon theophrasti. And it is in the mallow family. Pretty leaves, tiny yellow flowers, but it's still a weed. Smile

Thanks for the quick replies camprn and pattipan. you rock

I've checked the links you each supplied, so I've gained some knowledge and useful information.
Thanks again!

It is also called Indian Mallow, and used to be planted on purpose - those seed heads were used as a stamp on butter pats for decoration once upon a time. But it is so invasive that intentional planting was stopped. Yet it still thrives.....
