Plant Identification

14 years ago

I saw some flowers that are blooming right now in the landscape in our harbor that I am curious to identify. They look like some type of Rudbeckia. They are 2-3 feet tall, have daisy-like flowers but the petals are wider and more square than those of Rudbeckia Hirta. The color was different shades of bronze and yellow. They were growing in large clumps. Any idea?
