Hi friends

Just found an image of Tithonia diversifolia posted in this group.

I thought , it would be good to post image of another similar flower, belonging to same family.

Here is my picture-

Found this beautiful flower in October 2010 , in Uttarakhand trip - near Shyamlatal ashrama.

Botanical name: Tithonia rotundiflora

Common name: Mexican sunflower

Plant height: about 4 feet

Hope my ID is correct

Thanks

The flower is Tithonia rotundiflora. The petals seems to be drooping because of under watering.
