I am just a nooobie her, but can tell you that the guru's are going to ask about your pot size and drainage, soil composition, fertilzer make-up - frequency, maybe temperature and watering amount/info; so might as well answer that now and avoid the delay. Might put your zone # in too. I suspect that there will be attention the the fertilizer issue; I would suspend ferilizing for the moment until they advize. D (tomato grower in colorado)

I went back today and added another photo. That yellow flower is on a plant nearby that looks a lot like the one with fuzz, but now I am sure it is a different species. So now it seems to be an Asclepias. It looks like sandhill milkweed, Asclepias humistrata, as saltcedar suggested. Below is a link. Here is a link that might be useful: Asclepias humistrata

Maybe a Silphium? They're native wildflowers you might see in a garden center in Illinois. Prarie Dock, Silphium terebinthinaceum, has big basal leaves. WW Here is a link that might be useful: Prarie Dock

That looks like Bradburia pilosa to me. Some sources list it as Chrysopsis pilosa, with the common name often shown as Soft Goldenaster.

Yeah! It's a nice native. Might look nice mingling with Hieracium kalmii and venosum. Agoseris, Prairie Dandelion, is another good one, ranges west of Illinois, so for the east the next best thing is Krigea . I came across the other Krigia species in a sand prairie, and it looked like a miniature Dandelion.

Yeah I remember seeing Krigia on Wild Ridge Plants website. I took a look on BONAP and looked into each species at some point. Something about the way the flowers look and I knew it was probably a Krigia. Then I saw on the Minnesota wildflower site, the 1 or 2 clasping leaves at the base of the flower stem defines it, good thing you had that picture.
