It appears to be a Rudbeckia hirta...Black eyed susan

The leaves don't look like Helianthus (Sunflower) to me ... here's the database listings for Rudbeckia hirta for comparison: http://garden.org/plants/searc...

Edited to add: Very pretty by the way!

I agree with Tara --- Rudbeckia hirta

A gift indeed! I just came back in from my garden, and my Rudbeckia has suddenly collapsed! Dried up, and poof! Actually, I think I'm seeing some rot/fungus...Strange...We've had very little rainfall... Shrug!

Enjoy your gift! It is a beauty!

If you let it go to seed Joseph, I bet next year it will be back. You could save some seed & let some go on the ground there where it is. You could sow the saved seed around the property as you desire.

I love happy plant surprises.
