I have discovered that there are 3 native woodland sunflowers in Tenn. They are all helianthus. Univ. of Tenn - Woodland sunflowers Weezie, it could very well be that variety you have posted as that is one that is listed.

On that sight he has a picture of a similar flower and the name for that picture is Gloriosa. One flower is red and one yellow. I am not familiar with these, but thought it might spur some comments from the group. web page http://www.adamjonesphoto.com/gallery/flowers.html Plants: 25 | From: Nashville TN | Registered: Feb 2004  |  Seeded: 67.106.203.98 Newt Dream Gardener Member # 74 posted                       Hi WCutler, I'm thinking you mean the third picture down on the right. The botanical name is Rudbeckia hirta and is a form of black eyed susan. Are you asking if they are related? If so, both the rudbeckia and helianthus are all members of the aster family and are composites.

The initial question above has a web link that shows the photographer's name and if you click to link to his website, the name of the picture seems to indicate he thinks it the black-eyed susan. Whether he is correct, or not, is up to the experts here. It is similar, but my black-eyed susans do not have petals as long as those shown in the original picture above.
