A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Tithonia diversifolia
Yellow petaled blossom.
It is found naturally in Mexico and Central America but has been introduced into many other areas. This one was found along a trail in the Amazon rainforest of SE Ecuador.
I can't tell a lot about this plant as Project Noah didn't exist in my mind at the time. I now know a little more about what to look for when taking pictures :-) Thanks NP.

Thanks Machi. When I took these pictures I wasn't interested in identifying the plants. Now that I am, I will remember your suggestion. Thanks for the tip.
I think this is a Tithonia sp. Hard to identify plants without photos of the leaves and whole plant unless the flowers are very distinctive.
