My current backyard garden prolific self-seeder (probably thanks in part to my beloved birds) happens to be a native plant, Solanum americanum (American Nightshade). Seedlings even sprouted in some of the seed trays I left outside for a year! They're now in pots because I thought they were from seeds I had sowed.

Here's a current pic of the "mother plant", which I thought I had removed last year. It's happily growing in the middle of Liatris spicata.

If anyone's potentially interested in having S. americanum, let me know because otherwise I'm going to plant them all in the forest. I know the berries are edible when ripe, but it's just not a plant I want in my backyard. http://www.eattheweeds.com/american-nightshade-a-much-malign...
