These plants are 18-24" high, growing in full sun, in East Texas.

I would appreciate any help in identifying the plant.

Thanks.

It's a St. Johnswort for sure, however, that's the best I can do. Most of these are native but you will have to check with local experts on the pictured species. This plant is not the eurasian species that is used as an anti-depressant herb.

I was waiting for someone to say it's silphium, based on the foliage.

But the flowers look more like Wingstem, Actinomeris alternifolia. But the foliage doesn't match!

It's been a few years since I last grew shungiku but I seem to recall that the petals drooped and the center disk became more rounded with age. I dug back through my photos and came up with one that shows a number of young blossoms and one starting to age in the upper left. On the aging flower, the petals are starting to drop down and the center is taking on a more rounded appearance. Perhaps stress of being moved or age is contributing to the appearance of the OP's flower. FataMorgana

I agree with the ID too. We have buttercups growing wild all over the county. Farmers hate them and often spray to get rid of them.

Not sure about the second pic, but the first kind of looks like one of the native hydrophyllums, probably virginianum. If the younger leaves have any splotchy white markings that would cinch the deal.
