When the dogs and I go for our early morning walk sometimes we have to stop and smell the flowers...
Compass plant - Silphium laciniatum - is the tallest of all the native prairie plants sometimes reaching a dozen feet in height. (This one was only as tall as me).
This plant aligns itself north to south to maximize exposure to sunlight.
If you are inclined - collect the sap and make chewing gum from it.
