This summer, I was fascinated by some yellow flowers in the garden that seemed to hold an almost magical attraction to bees.
I took this picture using an extension tube and a tripod. The problem with this setup was that the area in which the image was sharp was about 3-4 mm in depth and there was a breeze blowing. The swaying of the flower made it go in and out of focus, so I lost quite a number of interesting pictures due to lack of sharpness.
Does anyone have an idea what the name of the flower is?

I believe its False Sunflower, sorry it’s such a late reply. I have a million seeds for it if you want me to mail any to you.

I agree, it is probably Heliopsis helianthoides, also known as smooth oxeye and false sunflower according to Wikipedia. There’s a spot in my garden where they do really well. 🙂
