Question
I'm going to try again with more details with the mystery plant you answered on 6/11/17. Several plants were close together, but not in a tight clump. I couldn't find anything that seemed to be a match among the Solidagos. but it did look rather similar to Euthamia graminifolia, except the leaves on this plant had widely spaced teeth. Perhaps the details on the seeds will help.
Answer
Chaffeemonell, there is more than one species in the original image you submitted several days ago. The one with very dried up leaves covering most of the left half of the image (and included here) is likely not a Solidago, but rather a Symphyotrichum (American-aster). The flower heads (capitula) are too large and too few for most Solidago. The leaves could be Symphyotrichum lanceolatum subsp. lanceolatum var. lanceolatum (the narrow-leaved form of this species). I can't be confident, but that is what these images suggest (as they lack the triple-veined pattern found in some goldendrods). Best wishes.
