Plant identified............

A friend I share plants with was walking by when I went out to the mailbox.  I asked her to use the app on her phone to identify this group of yellow flowers.  They aren't brown eyed or black eyed susans but I didn't know exactly what they were.  She knew right away they are a native species because she used to work at a nearby forest preserve.  Her app identified them as Smooth Oxeye which is more commonly known as False Sunflower.  It has a Latin name also of course.

Being a native plant it grows easily in poor soil.  It stands 3-5' tall.  I was given the original plant in the mid 1990s by a friend who said her grandma's garden was all native plants and that is where this one came from.  I have had it in many places because it spreads and plants itself.  Since my back garden is a semi-wild bee, butterfly and bird garden I don't mind having it wherever it comes up.

I have one of my small pieces ready to hand baste.  One load of laundry is done, a batch of cookie dough mixed and ready to bake today.  One more backing is pieced.  I need to cut batting now.  

We are in a week of nice low humidity again.  That will change Sunday when humidity and mid 90s are predicted.  This is pretty typical in this area that it gets extremely hot when the kids are starting back to school.
