The woman I bought this house from told me not to cut anything down even if it looks like a weed. I'm trying to follow her advice because she was really attached to her garden...BUT...this looks like a weed to me. I keep waiting for a bud to form but nothing is happening its just getting taller and taller.

Any ideas??
