Wildflower ID?
Taken today (10/12/12) at the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge. Too late in the year for Marsh Marigold (a Spring bloomer). Any ideas? It is growing at or near the marsh edge. The flowers are 2-3 inches across.

Phil, it might be a tickseed sunflower. But that is just my uneducated guess.

I believe you nailed it, John. The leaves and the blossom look right. Thanks!
