    Having trouble identifying this perennial. I'm assuming it's in the aster family. I thought at first it might be blanket flower since I have some, but the leaves are different than the other two varieties I have. Then I thought oxeye daisy or false sunflower but I can't google anything that matches so perhaps I'm not even close. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    (Whoops--sorry, 12-18" high, spread 8-12", began blooming late May northern IL.)

    Wow! Spot on! How do you do that! Thank you. Hmmm.... another common wildflower that has surprised me. So amazing how many wonderful native plants we overlook.
