My mother-in-law calls plants like that a "volunteer".
I have a Sego palm that for some crazy reason has a marijuana plant growing right next to it. Being that there hasn't been marijuana here that I've known of, I'm a bit perplexed. I've heard they can be finicky to grow. We haven't touched it yet because we keep waiting for it to die. No one waters or feeds it...we think my Sego palm, Abner,has a drug problem.. :))
