Oregon,
United States 
Here's today's mystery plant, if you recognize it, please tell me what it is. Early this spring I pulled out a giant patch of bindweed (aka morning glory?) and this is what grew back in its place, along with some johnny-jump-ups. Is this a weed? Should I be pulling it up too? Thanks!
The scale of the flower is tiny, maybe 1/4". It likely is solanum of some kind, a friend pulled up a plant in another part of my yard and said it was deadly nightshade. I will begin pulling it up.
Thanks for your help everyone!

Whichever solanum it is I'd get rid of it pretty quick the berries are poisonous to humans.

I agree with Amano, probably Solanum nigrum and yes, it is poisonous
