Is it possible they're just mums? The petals don't look quite right to me though for that.

Such a pretty, eye catching banner. Thumbs up Lovey dubby

I was wondering what those (yellow & red) flowers are too. Wondered if maybe some kind of calendula or zinnias but it doesn't scream either one of those.

Stunning banner, Web.
I was thinking calendulas or zinnias, too, like @wildflowers. I think mums can be ruled out based on what we can see of the foliage.

Thanks to everyone for their compliments. I will find out what those flowers were. I don't know why I didn't while I was there. Short-sighted I guess! Confused

I have a lot of banners where I don't have a clue what the flower is! Mostly it's when I make them from photos from years ago at Chicago Botanic Garden and I didn't also take a pic of the nameplate. I usually try to now when I go, but still I forget sometimes.

My first thought was, "they don't like flowers for hummingbirds." But maybe just some "fillers" for the garden. Thinking
