You don't name flowers, you name plant species, Spammy.

Cannot say what it is without seeing the rest of the plant too.

Popular with whom?

It is probably a member of the Compositae, a family which includes
daisies and sunflowers, one of the largest families of flowering plants
with some 25,000 species (roughly 10% of the total number of flowering
plants). Without a look at the leaves identification is totally
impossible.

As a wild guess look up Wyethia (Mules Ears or Mulesear):

there are some of us who make good efforts to answer valid questions. the
dry wit isn't always appreciated :P composite flowers are my absolute
favorites if I had to choose......

Oh sure.

The Asteraceae (Compositae) is one of the largest flowering plant families.

That should keep a neophyte busy looking for a long long time!!!!
