Can anyone help me identify this flower?

Hmmm... my mom is not here so i can't anwer your question. But, we do also have that flower here in our country(asia). When the flower is already dry? plant the entire flower if you can't separate the seeds(center part).plant it again, after a weeks you'll see a tiny leaf growing and it only need a minimal care.

I took a good look at the photo you put up. Did you plant this, or did it come up on it's own? It looks to be a member of the coneflower family. It also reminds me of a black-eyed susan (which I have growing in my yard.) The leaves look like a black-eyed susan, yet the coloring with the reds in the center makes me sure it's not, unless it's mutated or something. Curious as to how big the flower is. You know, like is it dime sized, quarter sized, etc? I also live in the northeast part of the country. I got out my wildflower guide and it's leaves and flower don't resemble anything there (which is why I think it's a regular plant and not of the wildflower variety.) If you didn't plant it, maybe a bird dropped it's seeds from another close-by garden. hehehe, I have that happen a whole lot (like the giant sunflower that just appeared in my garden...and I did not plant any!) Looking forwards to finding out exactly what this is, it's pretty whatever it is!!

It looks like a hybrid. Apparently your garden is home to some torrid love affairs. "As the garden turns", perhaps?

Hi, Deenad. In the Philippines, i see a lot of these flowers alongside the road going to Tagaytay City. Actually when these flowers are in bloom especially during November and December, it's really pleasing to my eyes. They are prettily swaying with the breeze. I even took pictures with it. Maybe because my favorite color is yellow. But unfortunately, i still don't know the name of the flower but i definitely like it. But pretty soon, i'll find out. Cheers!

It's a blanket flower. They reseed,so they come back year after year. They are beautiful in drifts. However, they are very yummy to some insects, so you might want to ask your local nursery for a pesticide.
Remember, to collect the seeds at the end of the season so you can have many more next season.
