Compass Plant
I've learned recently from John that what I have generically calling sunflowers are probably compass plants, so named because the leaves align facing north to south. The CBG 'what's in bloom' page lists them (Silphium laciniatum), taken on the path through the Dixon Prairie. Chicago Botanic Garden Jul 07, 2012 L1040551.dng
