Can anyone help me ID this yellow flower?
 

In South Jersey (zone 6) I saw a very pretty yellow flowering plant
that the owner said drops lots of seeds every year. The flowers are
about 1 inch across and the seeds form under the dying flowers are are
roundish and about 1 to 2 mm across.

I posted a picture at

and would love to know what it is.

Thanks!

It is one of the Melampodium species. Do a google search to see the various
species. Good and reliable plant. Trouble-free.

I believe it may be Melampodium. I planted it in my garden this year and it is
blooming beautifully!

Looks like Heliopsis to me, I have it for the butterflies, spreads like crazy
here.

It certainly looks like it is Melampodium divaricatum.
The flowers are similar to heliopsis, but that wasn't it.

Thanks for your help! I can't wait to plant it next spring and the
people who gave me the seeds will be happy to find out what it is.
