With cloudy weather today and a good chance of rain I decided to try my luck at some Cup Plant in the yard. These plants are currently about 5-8 feet tall. Images were taken on August 6, 2017.
Cup Plant, Silphium perfoliatum
Most occasions the leaf cup holds water at the start of the day, birds frequent this plant for a drink…
