My previous post on this topic didn't seem to make it. Here is the flower again, and also a question. Has anyone here used an iPhone app to identify flowers? For my purposes, this would be a terrific asset. Thanks again for your help, David
Looks like Helenium. There are several named cultivars that it might be. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=e....,cf.osb&fp=3d61e2f9b25c0e74&biw=1280&bih=622
My first thought was zinnia, too, but it didn't look quite like any zinnia I'd seen before. Helenium seems a better match. Thanks!
Definitely looks like Helenium. Helenium Rotkäppchen? Try to contact http://www.helenium.net/ , may be they will narrow it down for you to the species or cultivar. By the way, it never hurts to post a picture of the whole plant and/or leaves, along with flowers.
