First flowers ever on my Cup Plant (Silphium perfoliatum)! It didn't bloom its first year.

In addition to providing pollen and nectar for pollinators, it catches water in the cups formed by its leaves. Apparently birds like to drink from them. I rescued some tiny little insect drowning in one of the cups today.
