Name That Plant!

Any idea what this is?

There are a couple different plants intermingled in this photo, but I'm interested in learning what the yellow flowering plant is. It is tall (over 5' in some instances) has a thick stalk that collects water at the base by the leaves. I'm right on the line of zones 6a and6b if that helps. Thanks!!!

I have never seen Silphium perfoliatum in person but I think that could be your plant.
