there is a strange plant that's just spung up. I've noticed it has some buds but I'm unsure of what it could be. our yard is covered in wild flowers and this one is a bit far from our house but I thought maybe it could be some type of flowering shrub?

By the way this is in SW Missouri!
Peonies
Looks like a herbaceous peony! Lucky you, prepare for massive blooms.

Seconding and thirding peonies. Here’s one of mine for reference. Lucky you!

The flowers are large, so some stake and twine support is usually needed around the plant. If rain is predicted, bring in any open blooms as the rain can cause them to bend and break.
