Hello folks, can anyone help identify this strange plant that has appeared in my garden. It's about 5 feet tall now. Leaves are almost 2 feet in length. Many thanks.

Looks like Burdock to me.

I only know of one burdock,  and this isn't it . These leaves look soft and downy, actually reminds me of a sticky bud plant.

Id like to know though as this plant does look familiar  .

Arctium lappa ..Greater burdock....can easily reach 10ft tall.

Try looking on the ubderside of the leaf it will be whiteish.
