Yellow daisy ID

I see this bushy daisy growing along part trails here in Atlanta, GA. Anybody know what this is? It is has been flowering this month (september). Seems to do well without any care.

Looks like a helianthus, one of the sunflower family.

Yes, I agree it is probably a sunflower - helianthus species. These are easy to grow, but they need some space. They can be readily transplanted by pulling up a few stems, which will come out of the ground with some roots and stolons. Cut the stems down to about a foot tall and only a couple of leaves, and plant in almost any soil. Water them this fall, and you should have a nice plant by next summer. Any wild clump can afford to give up a few stems, since they spread pretty aggressively.

I was thinking Doronicum too but didn't know whether it would would growing out in the woods. Also 1 1/2 inches seems a little small for the flowers but I've only seen it in gardens where it's well fed.

Those green things on the back are called "involucral bracts" (I learned that in a workshop a few years ago). I think you can see here that they are overlapping, which is characteristic of Helianthus. That's not to say that they don't overlap in others, but that combined with the length and shape of the bracts themselves and the scratchy leaves, etc ..... So, does still seem to be Helianthus and I would tend towards H. divaricatus which is certainly in the general area - I often find it on the edges of woods. Here is a link that might be useful: H. divaricatus distribution

I had googled Irish Eyes Rudbeckia and it looked exactly like the flower in question. Curiosity got to me and I called up to the store in Pa. and the florist lady confirmed that the were what I thought. She also said there were some that had Fuji mums aka spider mums in them, I know a spider mum when I see it and I know it wasn't that flower. She said the grower choses the choices for the cut flower bundles. Alexslemonde.org doesn't have any say so on choice of the flower selection. So now we know! I've got to have some of those Irish Eyes for wintersowing in 2012!

Correct, both Senecio plattensis and S.aureus are now Packera plattensis and P.aurea I beieve the plant is P.aurea -- look at the basal leaves clearly seen on "Yellow weed pt2" link above. Compare them to plattensis/aurea basal leaves (more images could be found under the old name -- Senecio aureus).

I can't say for sure but it might be helianthus divaricatus or woodland sunflower.
