I've been looking for a tall plant like this to use in my home landscape. I found these three along Big Walnut Creek in Gahanna, Ohio, but don't know what they are. I'm guessing one is wingstem and another is a type of sunflower. Specific Latin names and any other information would be helpful. Thank you!

First one is Cutleaf Coneflower (Rudbeckia laciniata)

Second is Wingstem (Verbesina alternifolia)

Not sure about the third.

I'm pretty sure the last one is Jerusalem Artichoke-- helianthus strumosus. They grow wild in Michigan too.
