Agoseris grandiflora, blooming in the prairie this morning
I've watched this plant growing all spring. I wasn't sure if it was something I planted but it looked promising, so I left it alone. Once it started blooming I was a little uncomfortable. I identified it as Agoseris grandiflora, which is indeed a native perennial, but I have trouble getting past its similarity to a dandelion. A huge dandelion, complete with the puffball seed heads. So, right after I took this photo, I cut off all the blooms and gathered the seed heads (a few seeds had taken flight already). I put off any decisions on how to handle this plant until next year.
