unknown plant

This acts like a bulb in that it comes up each year in the same basic area *under a small redwood* the leaves make me think of an elephant ear in their shape.
Hoping that someone can ID this for me, so I know if I should leave it to grow.

i was wondering what it is myself, its not planted by me, but shows up in same general area each year. I replaced all this soil, so its not like it could have been there before my garden. Does Rhubarb volunteer?

thanks for the help
:-)

Actually, this looks to me like "Common Burdock", Arctium minus. A common non-native weed with a big taproot that is hard to pull. Definitely a plant to get rid of!

I agree with Jesse n Debbie. Rhubarb has a celery-like stalk. This looks much more like burdock. Yes indeedy, you want to get rid of that one!
