Every year I post this plant and everyone gives their opinion of what it is. This year it is 10 feet tall, so if I have any new visitors, maybe they have a name for it also.We had a big, big rain. Ann Arbor, five inches! Sadly I lost my biggest fish last night, he got stuck in the drain, and yes I did fish cpr but I guess it was just too late.
My garden is a happy one this morning. Hope you are too!

Hi Peggy,
Thank you for stopping by my blog. Sorry to hear about your fish, we just lost two fish within days of each other a few weeks ago.
If I'm not mistaken, the plant is a Jerusalem Artichoke. Does it have a big tuber root and is very invasive? If so, that is what it is. I got one little hitch hiker of it on a plant from my friends garden and now I can't get rid of it. It wouldn't be so bad, the it is growing right in my front garden path! Anyway, in the spring and in the fall you can harvest the tuber roots and eat them like potatoes. Look them up on line and you can find a ton of recipes and info.

Looks like you found the answer to your question at long last. We got rain here too but not that much. We do need it after all the heat we've had so everyone's gardens should be happy! Have a wonderful Thursday!
You have some of the most unusual plants, I swear! Looks like some form of coneflower almost - but hey, I know NOTHING!! Sorry 'bout your fish....but fish cpr??? GROSS!! ;o) Happy Thursday! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
