I’ve been hoping all year that this plant was going to be a huge, beautiful butterfly weed bunch, but after seeing actual butterfly weed on a field trip for my field botany class, this doesn’t appear to be butterfly weed after all.

Any ideas what it is?

    I think I got it as a little sprout from a native plant rescue staffed by volunteers, so IDing it was probably questionable

      I wonder if it’s a Gaillardia species or something related to an oxeye daisy - the leaf clasping a “branch” as it shoots off the stem reminds me of them
