plant question - what is this???

DH and I did a TONNN of much needed gardening today and discovered a very odd plant that I can not identify...

It happens to be growing out of the center of a hosta in our flowerbeds - it is not the flower from the hosta... At first I thought it might be a weed but it is actually quite large & woody.

Thinking it might be a small tree of some kind but it is such an odd place for it and why int he center of a hosta of all places?

We are fairly new to this house (only our 2nd spring here)...

Pics included...

I would email Cornell Cooperative and ask them what they think it is.
