whatever it is it appears it had flowers that were on a stem during it's previous year of growth. do you remember seeing it flower? if you do what was the color or shape of the flower?

Did it have a yellow, dandelion-like flower? How tall is that old flower stalk and about how wide the clump? It reminds me of Elecampe but I don't think that's it, different growth pattern. First year plant or in same/similar family maybe?

I honestly don't remember! The woody stem looking things have "leaves"?? They're fairly tall, maybe 2' tall? Maybe a little shorter. I have no idea what it is... but I don't know what it is.. but I'm thinking I might pull it??

Why don't you wait and see what it blooms like? If it's a weed or a plant you don't want then you could dig it out, separate the daff bulb from the clump and replant your bulb.

I'm thinking Elecampe then. 
Medicinal introduced from Europe, no showy flowers or anything. Growing in your flowers like that, you're going to want out of there.
If I do happen to be right, and you are interested in medicinals - there's probably more of those plants growing somewhere nearby so it would be of no great loss.

Looks like a Shasta daisy to me.

I think Mary may have nailed it. The long woody stems would go along with that ID also.

It looks like Rudbeckia which reseeds quite easily.

While I do love shastas, I don't think this is one. Maybe though! The stalks are WAAAAY too tall, but they could have been from something else? I did have Shasta in a pot, but they wouldn't have come up and been that big already.
