Rudbeckias (I think). Gorgeous autumn colour from Dunedin Botanic Garden, New Zealand. 24 March 2022. Today’s a dull damp winter day so these pics of bright, cheerful flowers are good for my spirit!

They are very cheerful, Liz. Luckily, it won’t take too long before your spring will bring you more mood-lifting flowers.
Be well,
Tanja

Thanks Tanja, spring is very close! Already some early bulbs are flowering, and there’s lots of lambs to see in the fields!

Those resemble a species of Rudbeckia that we have in our yard called Green Headed Coneflower-Rudbeckia laciniata. (Note the green at the top)

I might say Yellow Coneflower because the brown “cone” is longer than on my rudbeckia.

It was quite a ‘wow’ moment when I saw them.. they’re so tall!

These are interesting. I’d say Rudbeckias, too, although whether a cultivar or not I couldn’t say. The larger cones do look like one of our native species, which can grow to a height of six feet!

Wow that’s tall! I was impressed by these but can’t remember how they compared with Nigel’s height of 6’3″.
