what is this?

[parsleythelion]

hello, i'm new to this gardening lark, can anyone tell me what this plant thing is? i like it. it died back and i've dug up the bulbous roots and transplanted it in various areas. i hope it grows.

i think it's some manner of sunflower. maybe.

hello, thanks for the welcome. i've slightly better pictures of it... but only slightly. ain't it grand? i'm amazed by how high it grows but then allsorts amaze me.

It looks to me a bit like a Rudbeckia sp. You might want to upload one of your better pictures to the Gallery - externally linked images are likely to be deleted! Welcome, though

Perennial Sunflower by the look of it. Non-native.

Cheers,

Looks like a Black-eyed Susie - Rudbeckia to me. I think they are very pretty.

plants, flowers, insects, mammals they all amaze me, some grow so fast, so big, so small, so strange i can hardly get my head around it. truly amazing. frankly i'm like a wonderstruck child at times. you should see these sunflowers i've sown... i mean the kids have sown they're v tall already. it must take it out of them.

as yet i've no idea how to upload pictures to the Gallery but then i did research it for all of 1 minute.

I think Adam is correct - Helianthus of some sort perhaps multiflorus or occidentalis, but the cultivars are very variable. You may be able to narrow it down by flowering period.

I reckon Rudbeckia laciniata; right height, right sort of flowers, grows from rhizomes. Sounds like a good 'un to me.
