Wild flower | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

Saw this beautiful flower growing beside the parking lot at Acworth Beach and hope you can identify. Thanks so much …..

Some thing in the Helianthus perhaps? With composite flowers like these, we need more details to help narrow for you. Can you show us a closeup back of the flower green bracts (back of the flower), stem with leaves & side view of the whole plant. Please also give us an estimate of the plant’s height. Thank you & best wishes!

Looks like a helianthus. A native sunflower.
