I think that's a Rudbeckia (maybe R. hirta). Ratibida pinnata should have very reflexed petals and a more rounded "cone". bigcityal Menasha, WI (Zone 5a)September 28, 2006 05:33 PM

That doesn't look right to me either. The cone is duller and smaller also. Xenomorf Valley of the Sun, AZ (Zone 9b)September 28, 2006 06:17 PM

Would you say it's the 'Marmalade' cultivar?

I can't really say, if the petals remain V shaped and droop down than it isn't one I am familiar with.
Most of hirta's have flat petals. Xenomorf Valley of the Sun, AZ (Zone 9b)September 28, 2006 07:40 PM

I noticed the petals in both the link images and on mine have two creases in them. Maybe the 100F heat makes mine curl. Xenomorf Valley of the Sun, AZ (Zone 9b)September 28, 2006 08:36 PM

Rudbeckia hirta var. pulcherrima...I saw was a synonym of the 'Marmalade' cultivar somewhere on the web.
Pan down this link/page to 'Rudbeckia hirta var. pulcherrima'
Check out the "photo 1" , It's quite a close match.

Well - I'll give you the creases as similar on yours and that one, your petal tips are split/laciniated -that didn't show up on any of those photos. Xenomorf Valley of the Sun, AZ (Zone 9b)September 29, 2006 01:32 PM

Xeno - I'll second the R. hirta prognosis. I have several of the other ones on that last post and know them well.
