This morning a friend brought a pot containing a sunflower-looking plant and
asked for help with identification. I wasn't able to offer much help. It
looks like some sort of a sunflower, but the flower is much lighter yellow
than any sunflower I've ever seen. Five pics of the plant and flower can be
viewed at http://www.boltassociates.com/PlantID/. The plant is growing in
Maryland, USA. It is 2 - 3 ft tall.

It's been a while since I've seen one, but it kind of looks like a Jerusalem
Artichoke.
