| Hello Everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me identify this plant. I find it very beautiful. It just started blooming in the last couple of weeks. It is about knee high and kind of grow out like a circle if that makes any sense. It is covered in little flowers and I love it. I think it must be a perennial because I did not plant it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Pam |

| Second vote for sunflower. It's an annual altho' I think there are perennial cultivars available. Not all sunflowers grow 12 ft. tall. Yours could have self seeded. |

| Hi there, I think the foliage looks wrong for a garden variety sunflower, aka Helianthus annuus). Goin by the small lanceolate foliage I would guess it is some perennial Helianthus (no clue, are there native annual sunflowers over there?...). That it grows at the water's edge is somewhat unusual. Is it a creek or rather pond? Sometimes Jerusalem Artichokes get washed downstream, or rather bits of their rhizomes. Well, curious, let's see what pops up, Bye, Lin |

| Maybe it's a Swamp Sunflower (Angustifolius). They are native to Georgia. The leaves look similar and yours is by a pond. It's pretty and probably good forage. |
