help! what plant is this? | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

This grew out of nowhere but i have no idea what is it. Thought it was a sunflower but I’m pretty sure it’s not.

laura735 Master Identifier says:

To my eyes this looks like a sunflower with the hairy stem, alternated leaves and the bud has the involucre of bracts (those over lapping green scaled-like- phyllaries). But until the flower opens to confirm or rule out sunflower, I’m only speculating. When it blooms and you still don’t know, make new post with photo of flower. For now check out a closeup image of sunflower’s involcre Best wishes! http://botany.csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/301Manhart/Dicots/Asteridae/Ast/fa06086.jpg
