This plant grows everywhere in central NC, and probably many other states as well. The plant is actually quite edible, young stalks used to be a delicacy in the first half of the 20th century.

Interesting - I think I've seen this one around here too. Does it form a small red berry?

With this her solemn bird and this fair moon,
And these the gems of heaven, her starry train.
