Anybody know this guy?

Popped up in my beans this year. Multiple white flowers that I don't think ever open completely, deeply cut leaves attached directly to stem. 4-5 feet tall. Weymouth, MA...

try this on for size

and try not to think about, why is it called pilewort?

I tried figuring this out earlier and got nowhere. I looked at the link, sallyg, and they are so pretty when they go to seed.

Sally -- thanks for identifying that! We get a lot of it in our yard and I've always wondered what it is.

In the south we call this Fireweed, mostly because it appears following burns here. Erechtites hieracifolia
