I have misidentified plenty of plants and the compass flower is one of them. We were walking the Clear Creek trail the other day and saw what I thought was a patch of compass flowers. See what you think, judging from the featured image.
Anyway, I thought the flower itself pointed in a particular direction, but it’s actually the leaves as I rediscovered after looking it up.
As a real expert points out, it’s the edges of the leaves that point North/South.
