I took these pics in early August in NW Ireland.
Those plants (about 3 or 4 of them) were growing amids lots of weeds
on piles of topsoil disturbed on a building site. I looked around,
but could not find anything similar nearby, in gardens or in the
surrounding countryside.
I would say they were approx 50 to 80cm tall. The flowers themselves
were relatively large, maybe 8 to 10cm in diametre.
Can anyone help?
TIA!

try elecampane (Inula helenium).

that's one of them but I'm not sure if yours is tall enough. I am dredging
