Hi, It's not Verbesina...I have that everywhere! Leaves are serrated, stems are squarish with "wingish" flaps and flowers are small and unusual. I think it's a "weed"...i.e. not native to my area...I'm in the Appalachain Mtns, N. Virginia. Any ideas? Thank-you! (PS if you can't id species could you shove me in a direction...e.g. mints have square stems though I don't think this is mint but what other families might have square stems?)
Yes Tyrlych that's it! I actually just found pics of Helenium autumnale and saw flowers at the same stage as the ones I saw. The flowers threw me off! Thank-you!
