I'm pretty sure that's it,! Oenothera macrocarpa...according to the pic. According to the article Remy linked to, This species is a perennial with a fairly short bloom period. Its flowers may be seen in May and June, with the peak being mid-May in Kansas. Like I said b4...mine blooms off and on all season, and is a real favorite. I am clueless where it even came from. Thank you everyone. You all are the bestest and so knowledgeable. I refer lots of folks over here, telling them someone can most likely help them with an identity, even with just a good description. Sue...happy to have that solved.

Same plant with seed pods that turn dark and smell kind of musky.

I think ottawavalleygardener got it, looks like a Rudbeckia laciniata...thanks all for the help. I have some pics of it, but the site rejects them saying they are larger than 60 kilobytes and I don't know how to change the size, can anyone walk me thru that? I have some other plants I'd like help with. I like this forum, interesting and you can learn a lot from all you great people!

That was fast.. thanks!
