I think the one you asked about is helipsis helianthoides, false sunflower. I have some posted from my garden today. The maximus has large leaves.<br /><br />I just transplanted some of my prairie smoke geum into my new planting area this evening. I bought some other native plants for this area, and one of them is the rudbeckia maxima. I hope they all grow well.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-24247810258357731382011-06-27T11:42:13.864-05:002011-06-27T11:42:13.864-05:00Hi Rosey, You made me "sit up straight!"...Hi Rosey, You made me "sit up straight!" when I read you threw the socks in the garden!! ;-) I could see perhaps throwing extremely muddy ones in the garden... ha!
