Do you have a bird or wildlife feeder with corn nearby?

As it is growing directly below a bird feeder in each photo, it seems one of you bird seeds has sprouted, so corn, or millet, etc., as others have said here.
Ok, time to go back outside now.

This is probably a sorghum plant, which is a type of important crop that's related to corn. Yours probably came from birdfeed.

We use the terms sorghum and millet interchangeably.

Thank you. Yep a birdfeeder directly above it. They are very messy eaters. I thought I was losing my mind when I saw what looked like a Corn growing. Should I just pull this or will it bloom some type of flower? I'm guessing it will not bloom an ear of corn.

Millet or sorgham, that is the question. The question should be millet or milo (which is sorgham). Milo is a small round dark colored seed often used in bird food while millet is a small round white seed often used in bird food. Hilarious!

It will eventually grow a sprig of millet or milo. I would let it grow for the birds.
