I found, last summer, what is to me an oddity. I thought you might be of help getting an ID on this wildflower. The oddity for me is that this bloom has green leaf like petals and they are different from the actual "leaves" of the plant as can be seen here. It looks to me like some form of astor.

This was growing right next to a pond in course sandy soil and was shot on Sept. 13, 2012 here in SW Oregon.

Thanks for any help with ID.

Bidens frondosa, I suspect.

I like the color to BG Charlie, but I think the rear bloom in greater focus might help. This might just be me, and I am on my suspect laptop.

Nice work. Needless to say, great background. I do not think the slightly oof rear flower is bad. The main flower and the camera-facing leaf are nice & sharp, making the image.

Charlie, an other oddity catches my eyes: in the front the flower is on focus and the leaf is out; in the back, the leaf is on focus and the flower is out. I like the image.
Take care.
