I’ve got this labelled as echinacea sun magic.
But it looks very much like a rudbeckia.
Anyone got a definitive answer please??

I wouldn't keep the burdock as it sticks to your clothes and, particularly for me, the dogs' fur. I've heard that burdock was the inspiration for velcro. Homemade Velcro anyone?
