Growing in my neighbor's yard, he doesn't know what it is....it is lying down in this photo but it is about 36'' tall. I rather like it and want to collect seeds if it's worth growing.

You're very welcome! WebMD claims it can be used for lung diseases, as a cough suppressant, to kill worms that live in the intestines, and a variety of other uses. Not too sure whether I would try it though.
