Greetings. Can you identify the plant in the attached photo? In years past I've always pulled it, assuming it was a weed. This year it crept up on me and now that it has bloomed it looks rather pretty.

Ground cherry can look pretty, but if you let the fruits get ripe, you will regret it.  Continue to pull them up.  vw
