This row of weeds just popped up out of nowhere next to our sidewalk. They didn't exist a few days ago and or even when we moved in last summer. Can anyone identify what these are?

If you’re asking for help with identifying a weed and/or type of grass, OR a disease/fungus please include close-up photos showing as much detail as possible.
To identify diseases/fungi, both very close and wide angle photos (to show the context of the surrounding area) are needed.

Daffodils. They’ll be pretty in a few weeks.

Some bulb flower. See if you like them before trying to kill or dig up

Thanks everyone for confirming these are actually daffodils! My only experience with plants is smoking them, so my dumbass assumed this was some type of invasive weed when they appeared out of nowhere. I’ll put the string trimmer away and enjoy the flowers lol.

Hey don’t feel bad. I mowed over an area in my yard for a couple of years that turned out the previous owner planted gladiolas there.
We also discovered oodles of daffodils in my parents yard when they moved to Arkansas from Hawaii. And growing up in Hawaii, I can say I never witnessed a daffodil, amarylis, hyacinth, or gladiola grow out of the ground in the spring until I was in my 30s living in the mainland.

Not a weed but a pretty flower. Yellow or white daffodils

For grasses, it is especially important to get close photos from multiple angles. It is rarely possible to identify a grass from more than a few inches away. In order to get accurate identifications, the more features of the grass you show the more likely you are to get an accurate identification. Features such as, [ligules](https://extension.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/styles/image_gallery_mobile/public/2024-03/180.png.jpg?itok=D5yNs0l8) (which can be hairy, absent entirely, or membranous (papery) like the photo), [auricles](https://extension.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/styles/image_gallery_mobile/public/2024-03/Grasses%20at%20a%20Glance%20Blog%20Pictures.png.jpg?itok=PLrWX4q-), any hairs present, roots, stems, and any present seed heads. General location can also be helpful.
Pull ONE shoot and get pictures of that.
[This page from MSU](https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/grass-photography-tips-for-id-help-us-help-you) has helpful tips on how to take pictures of grasses for the purposes of identification.
