Thanks very much for viewing.

P.S. I may be incorrect regarding the I.D., of the subject. However, I am confident the correct one will be offered. :)
There is a lovely balance to this picture!
I thank you very kindly. :)

Ah. Very nice!
It is definitely in the composite family, Asteracea. It is not a
Coreopsis species, although that is a good guess. I thought it might be an
Arnica species. There are quite a few of those found in Oregon, but none have foliage like your plant does. It is not a
Helianthus species (sunflowers).
But I think I have a ID now. I believe it is
Eriophyllum lanatum. That one is completely new to me. One of the common names for that species is "Oregon Sunshine." Great name!
That's my best guess. Nice image.

Thank you, Blenheim, I checked these out and will be ordering some seeds for next spring. Once established they are drought tolerant.

Thank you very much. Actually, it is a Bidens bipinanta.
Cheers,
Tony :)

Ha! Very good. That was another possibility. The foliage looked more like
Eriophyllum lanatum to me, from what I could see of it. Interesting that the blossoms from 5 different genera are so similar -
Coreopsis, Helianthus, Bidens, Arnica, and
Eriophyllum.
