It is an annual /HHP rudbeckia, poss two, that I grew from seed this year. They were called autumn colours/shades. I totally recommend them, easy to grow and flower from late summer. Bombproof as well - they've been through all sorts of weather. I'm trying some different ones next year, cherry brandy and some orange with green centres, the name of which escapes me at the mo.
Thanks LesleyK- of course I put on a pic of the best dreg

Thought I would share this picture as it's so lovely! Not one of mine unfortunately but it's been my screensaver for quite some time now.
What lovely pics
Beautiful reds and immaculate cyclamen 
Dregs of the penstemons
My 'hedge' - it'll get there hopefully
Honka
Victoria Sponge, what is that lovely last shrub - the yellow one?
Is it some sort of marigold? Will it come up each year?
Ooh, gorgeous pics. Thanks for starting it Mattbeer you really have lots of colour
I'm much further North so have no leaves left on my acer Marion and chicky but they are lovely while they last

Keyser - where is that? Idyllic
Victoria - there is no way I would call that the 'dregs of the penstemons'. Lovely
My ancient (70ft+) grapevine is pretty spectacular right now:
Other side of the fence (taken from bedroom window):
Also some blueberries:
Excuse the pallets (always a few in my garden) and yes, I do have everything including a kitchen sink out there!

My canna which still thinks it's summer :
and the raised bed nearest back door with Spartina, Hakonechloa, and a Cotoneaster and a couple of others:
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I love the hues at this time of year. Everything is so subtle, shame it doesnt last all that long.
side garden-great pics everyone.
Rosa rugosa against an October sky
Beautiful autumn colours everyone, thank you for sharing
