Cup Plant
Silphium perfoliatum, also known as cup plant, is a type of flowering plant found in eastern and central North America. It is a tall plant with toothed leaves and yellow daisy-like flowers that bloom in the summer. These plants typically grow in sandy wet areas near water sources and open forests. Cup plant can reach heights between 3 to 8 feet. Its stem is sturdy, smooth, and slightly hairy, resembling mint plants. The leaves are arranged opposite each other, toothed, and egg-shaped. They have stems that are wide and fused around the main stem, forming a cup shape. Flowers start blooming from the top of the stem and then develop on the side branches. The flowers, appearing from midsummer to fall, resemble smaller sunflowers with golden yellow petals. They have tube-like structures with small sterile florets in the center.
