Also know as Gloriosa, Yellow Oxeye Daisy, Yellow Coneflower.  Some gardeners claim these can be invasive, I consider them happy. They are native wildflowers in almost every state and may be annual, biennial or perennial types. Many garden cultivars have been developed, usually referred to as 'Gloriosa' strains.
