Question:
What is this plant growing in my flower garden?

Answer:
This is milo or grain sorghum. It is used frequently in bird feeders and probably was dropped by a bird. Milo is used for animal feed and is high in fat and protein. It grows like corn but has a distinctive seed head. You can harvest it and put it out for the birds to eat over the winter.
