I can never remember what these flowers are called, but I love the beautiful, vibrant colours and the huge flower centre. No idea what the two tiny insects are, either - can't remember if I saw them or not when I was actually taking the photo. Taken in the garden at the Calgary Zoo on August 23rd.

Thanks so much, Karen and Lynette - ID is Helenium / Sneezeweed!

Sneezeweed is so named because it was once used in snuff, not because it is an allergen.
