What is This & Do I Want It Growing Next To My Keypad Post?

That's commonly known as a weed.

that's the plant with the latin name of "mater est utique promiscue"

Might be antelope horns/green milkweed.  Monarchs love it.  Look for the caterpillars on it now, and the butterflies (and bees) on it later.

(I just looked it up the other day because I was wondering about that plant on my land).

Much appreciated.  I won't mind low plants around the post but not something that will overshadow it or maybe even grow towards the driveway.

Butterflies is good.  An interesting addendum, I noticed some sprigs of wildflowers (purple, short... def. not Bluebonnets) not far from this milkweed growth.  The horses were out to graze for 5 days last week & didn't go near this bit & I did find them in the area near the gate.

It’s an antelope horn.  The purple flower sounds like Indian Breadroot

Goddamnit Digdogger. I hate it when I read your post for 5 minutes before I realize it was actually a serious post.

Here's one before the little flowers opened up:
