How long is "ages"?
Because to me it looks like a sunflower. They are annuals and so don't live
for "ages".

I agree, some kind of helianthus (sunflower), possibly a Jerusalem
artichoke. there are about a dozen sorts.

Wow, how can you find so many links?

I'm not sure what the question is.

If you mean links that identify the genus it's just how they look. Use
google images and search on helianthus and you will see they all look quite
similar.

If you mean how do you find so many links to the different species you can
start with wikipedia which has much of the botanical naming hierarchy and at
least the names (if not details) of each species within genus, each genus
within family etc. There are other web sites that have the hierarchy too.

I found 2 weeds and close similar to the picture shown....

Japanese Knotweed and Solidago albopilosa.

That plant was very common in the farm. They grow anywhere. Most of the details found in Asia.

I don't think it is either of those. If you look at photo #2 you will see
the flower buds starting to form. We will know when it flowers but I am
betting it has a round yellow flower not dense clusters like either of those
two.

Definitely it's a weed. I'm not particular about the name but there's a lot of them on my backyard, so I cut them out.

The definition of weed is an unwanted plant. Do you want it?
