Bachelors Button is an annual
By " long time ago" ,I would think it would be a perenial unless it reseeds.
It could be another plant in the Centaurea family,however I believe it is a Stokes Aster,Stokesia laevis

I think you're right. The foliage also matches Stokesia.

Yep, that looks like it to me, thanks everyone! They do remind you of batchelor's buttons, don't they?
