I don't know the name of this flower. It showed up last year and is back, this year

[Siwsan]

It is a little smaller than a Daisy and the colors are like a Sunflower.

1. Marigold? I have no idea.

2. Marigolds have a much more layered petal pattern and a distinctive fragrance

This grows beneath a tree so I think it's probably the result of bird poop.

4. I did a wild flower project in grade 9 and there was a marigold that was daisylike.

6. I'm not a fan of Marigolds, but that one is an exception!

I've never liked the fragrance. I know they are supposed to be very good pest deterrents.

[applegrove]

8. Yes they are smelly. Did not know they fought off pests.

11. That's what I think it is...

definitely in the marigold family.

3. No idea either, but it's a little cutie-pie!

5. Heliopsis, I think. nt

7. Don't know but it's purty. nt

9. Heliopsis scabra leaves aren't quite the same, but there are so many types of heliopsis

(also called false sunflower), and they have many different types of leaves.

10. There are several flowers that look much like that...

Heart leaved Calendula, Heart leaved Arnica, Arrowleaf Balsamroot, and Mule's Ear.

This one, looking at the leaf shape and unopened flowerhead, looks most like Calendula. I have some on my garden. I use the flowers for a skin healing salve along with a few other herbs. There are other medicinal properties but I'd have to look them up.

12. Your guess might be closer than mine. Here is a similar looking calendula:

14. First a correction, there no such thing as

heart leaved calendula, I inserted calendula in the wrong place and then rewrote the heart leaved part that actually was part of the name for arnica.

At this point, the leaves are better for identification since the flower resembles so many others. Since it's in your garden, it's most likely the calendula since the others are wildflowers.

13. I thought I read this, so I looked it up.

The daisy plant family is officially called the Asteraceae family, formerly the Compositae family. It's also informally called the sunflower family.

15. Interesting!

I've got a couple of nice Sunflowers growing in the front garden.

16. Wish I could post a pic

It looks very similar to the dwarf zinnias I planted this year.

20. My wife suggests

Calendula or bishops children dahlia. Hard to confirm with seeing the leaves.

21. I also think English Marigold
