The only thing I can think that might match this description would Rhubarb. Except, I think rhubarb is taller than that and doesn't have flowers that I am aware of.
Yeah, definitely not rhubarb as I lived in Iowa for about 8 years in my highschool and college years and my grand parents lived there. Loved some rhubarb crumble my grandma made. It grew everywhere. It was alot smaller and grew like a weed in sandy soil.
Ha, found it ! Sheep sorrel . https://jenniferodom.com/sheep-sorrel-al...our-grass/
Hmm, that looks very similar to curly dock which also happens to be a useful wild edible. ^_^
