We came home from 2 wk vacation to find the wooded areas of the yard filled with helianthus divaricata in full bloom. You can tell from the picture, this is an untended area - the helianthus holds it's own without any help (I never planted it anyway).
The last picture is of the white woodland native, Eurybia divaricata (formerly Aster divaricata) - it's the only picture I could find; plant is a little ragged (picture is from October of last year, not blooming yet this year).

Edited to add: Boy, yours looks better, Rouge! My plant could use some of your TLC! I guess I could help it out by doing a little weeding!
