Mystery flower foliage

I posted a picture of a Ratibida looking flower head but the foliage doesn't look like a Ratibida. Could it be a Rudbekia of some sort? The flower head is 6 inches tall and the stem is 6 foot tall.

You're right...it doesn't :) Maybe Dracopis amplexicaulis? I went to Dave's Garden, and did a search. Try going there, to Plant Files and typing in "coneflower" in the common name slot. You'll get a ton of pics. The Dracopsis was the closest I saw to your flower and leaf pictures. Let me know what you decide it is!
