Rudbeckia, Cone Flower or Black Eye Susan.
Still going strong in November, this glorious, happy flower is one of my all time favourites. Mine are all yellow but they come in all shades of orange, red, pink and white; single, double and bi-colour. Even when the petals are gone the velvety brown centres remain with their speckles of gold.
They are robust and reliable perennials (in my experience), this one is called 'Goldsturm' and hurls itself around every where.
It cheers me up every time I pass on my way to the gate and brightens up the darkest autumn morning.
