First of all, did I get it right in the previous post? Are these rudbeckia? Or are they echinacea?
And what the heck are these?
They are tucked in behind the phlox and the alstromaria and the japanese maple and the rose and the clematis in that back quadrant that is also full of bindweed and something else invasive. I have never noticed them before! (I am also pretty certain that I didn't plant them.) But aren't they sweet?

wow! am really impressed by Honorine and her height, the asters are bee-utiful and yes those are rudbeckia - either R. hirta which is the wild black-eyed Susan or R. fulgida of which 'Goldsturm' is the popular cv. Both species are native to the U.S.
The pink lily-like flowers are probably Lycoris, a member of the Amaryllis family, that puts up leaves in the spring, which die down, and then the flowers emerge in the fall. Its common names, because the flowers are unexpected (and so are the leaves) are magic lily, resurrection lily, and naked ladies.
Echinaceas are also daisies, but usually lavender-pink ('Magnus') or white ('Alba'), though the new ones are pinky-orange, all with really cone-shaped center disks.
Love H's tummy!

It's awfully quiet in the jardin these days!
Hey Lisa. It's the marvelous world of internetness and I saw you on Brians' blog. So so sad. Don't know what to say. If you've got any inkling to see him before he goes, go soon. And it'd be nice to reconnect under happier circumstances. I'm in Exshaw (have been for many moons), the mom of two buoys (Willie 7, Dylan 14) and one man, Gregory. Send me a post! sarlidge@ucalgary.ca
