I have this intruder in the garden which I left to grow because I liked the shape of the leaves. Before it flowers I would like to know what this is. Can you please help help identify it so I know if its good or bad.

It looks like a Petunia.

Really!? That will be great. Usually all the plants I let grow are weeds

I agree, looks like Petunias (Petunia)

Rudbeckia

In the center of the photo, I see a bud that appears to have the shape of Petunia rather than Rudbeckia. Hopefully Dust8103 will be able to post another photo soon when the bloom is open ... that will tell the ID for sure.

Yes, it's a Petunia.

How wonderful, a petunia popping up, brings you smile when unexpected gift like this blossoms in your garden.

Thanks for all your comments guys. Ill go take another photo when the bloom is open

The intruder has blossomed

A better than average gift.

Lovely Petunia!
