Please tell me the name of this flower
Hmmmm...hard to tell as they Echinacea and Rudbeckia can look similar.





If you can go up to the flower, feel the center. If it feels sharp like a "cone" then it's probably a coneflower (Echinacea). Here is a great link that shows the stems, flower and foliage up close of each. Take a look and perhaps you can compare with the original plant.


Rudbeckia (a few different ones)

Echinacea paradoxa

Once you think you have it narrowed down, you can also search the web for better pictures. Good luck! :)



Reply:Yes those are a cone flower. You can tell by how the petals turn so far back. Also check out the link that Muse provided. It's full of info and pictures!

Reply:At first look I thought Black eyed Susans too but after looking closer I'm leaning toward the cone flower. My black eyed susans don't have the drooping petels. And we have the yellow coneflower growing on our roadways here in Missouri and there are purple and yellow ones. Their petels seem to be a bit longer than yours and droop somewhat more.
Reply:Yup I agree with the other three, I think it is a black eyed susan. They are lovely and you have a whole bunch. You can pick them and put them in a vase and enjoy them in the house too! Very nice.
Reply:The cone flower or scientifically Echinacea
