More Sun

I'm pretty sure this is a Helianthus in the Asteraceae family. If anyone knows which one, I'd be happy to hear from you. I've been calling it a mini sunflower ...... ;-) It's growing in a little community garden in a nearby town. The garden was FULL of butterflies but they were moving so quickly, never lighting down, and I could not even come close to getting a pic, focused or otherwise.

Many thanks for dropping by.

I just love all your flower photos! This is yet another beautiful one. I know so little about flowers that I usually call anything smaller than yet looking like sunflowers mini-sunflowers as well.
