I probably could not have posted this when I started on 365 lo, so many years ago. Back then, I just couldn’t have cropped out part of the subject. But the interesting part of this flower (to me) is the dark-red coloring on the petals at the center, so cropping out the yellow edges is okay.
What flower is it? I’m neither going to hazard a guess, nor trouble anyone to ID it for me. It has been grown from seeds in a seed packet and the packet is long gone. All I would say is that it’s in the Asteraceae (Aster) family. Maybe a “Fiesta daisy” (genus Gaillardia) or a cultivar related to that.

@randystreat Not confident enough that it’s a “genuine” Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta). If not, I’m thinking it is *very* likely a commercial cultivar derived *from* R. hirta.
