post an unknown plant and see if others can provide a name

Roadside plant?

I seem to run into something like this plant occasionally--seems to be around this stage-(not even sure if this is in seed, or still flowering- maybe that's why I never see it 'in flower' it is!)- I should have looked more closely rather than just taking a photo! This is an open medium/dry area (hard call on roadside ditches- plants could be up a bank where it looks dry, but might have roots down to the moister bottom) and the plant could be native or could easily be an agricultural weed..

Besseya wyomingensis?

I saw this plant on a rocky ridge on our early September foray into the northeastern prairie-montane corner of Waterton N.P.. I think it's Besseya wyomingensis, but have never seen it in the wild before (and have only my rather poorly-grown Besseya alpina to compare with). What do you think? I think the stem shows where stem leaves were attached but have dried and fallen off.
