Down the road and around the corner, I had to stop and take a picture of these beautiful flowers. I don't know what they are though.
Some sort of daisy perhaps?

    At first I thought they might be black eyed susans but I am not sure. They are so pretty. Wonderful find and capture.

    I'm going to try to find out...I don't think they are any of the above guesses. I'll let you know if I can identify them.

    I give up...I used to have a wild flower identification book, but haven't seen it in years. My guess is coreopsis...there are many forms. Anyway they are beautiful. Did you pick a bouquet to bring home?

    How Lucky can I be. I think David has named this plant for me. Helianthus atrorubens L or purpledisk sunflower. Thank you David.
