Mini sunflower bouquet anyone? Though unlike sunflowers, its foliage looks like the Greek letter delta (hence 'deltoidea').
Late spring sun-bombs, this one's taproot helps it be drought tolerant but also intolerant of transplanting, so choose the spot carefully!
('Balsamroot' = odorific sticky resin that give notes of pine and turpentine. Used traditionally as a salve for sores and insect bites.)
