Re: Can anyone identify?
Conveniently I have Rudbeckia and Coreopsis planted beside each other, it's interesting that the leavers are almost identical, you really have to look closely to see the small difference.

That's what I thought - that rudbeckia has much darker centres.

Re: Can anyone identify?
I was in Home Depot today. They were selling a plant called an Echibeckia. I had never heard of this, so I looked it up. I wonder if the seeds are sterile. One of these days they will be starting up a Plant Police Force to make sure no one is propagating all the plants "they" own. Notice they have trademarked the names. It says hardy zone 5. Interesting. I can grow both Echinacea and Rudbeckia in a zone 2-3 area, with some winter cover.

Echibeckia™ Summerina™ Yellow
An intergeneric cross between two popular perennials offering the appearance of Rudbeckia with the hardiness of Echinacea. The advantages are longer lasting flowers, a long bloom season from summer through fall and extra large flowers. This selection from the Summerina™ series features large flowers (60cm/3" across) consisting of bright gold petals with a rusty-orange inner halo surrounding a red-brown cone.

Thanks for sharing Shnookie! I bought plants that looked like these a few times, thinking that they were perennials, but they weren't . I too have Echinacea and Rudbeckia. I think Rudbecka "Goldsturm" might be more hardy as I seem to be missing some coneflowers this year......
