When this thing started coming up I thought it might be a Lily but wasn't sure.. now the thing is huge, about five feet tall, a big bunch of them.. I didn't pull it because the bees loved it. Now the blossoms are closed up.. are these berries? What are these??

My parents planted some of those to keep the moles away. Sorry, I'll ask what they are called and get back to you.

Your welcome.
And well you should be concerned, the plant is poisonous, but using caution, many people grow it as an ornamental.
