Red And Yellow Mums

Took this one in my neighborhood just today... I believe these flowers are Mums, but you can correct me if I am wrong. I have a feeling it won't be too long before these Mums are snow covered.

Another Unidentified Flower

I took this photo just today walking around the neighborhood, it is a taller plant at about 3 or 4' high with these purple and yellow flowers. If you can identify it I would appreciate it, thanks...

Update: Thanks to Anonymous, I now know that this flower is called a Aster, or to be more specific, a New England aster!

The Black Eyed Susan Or Yellow Coneflower

From This...

To this...
The Black Eyed Susan or Yellow Coneflower are a very easy perennial to take care of. They will adapt to most types of soil as long as they get plenty of sun. The Black Eyed Susan also makes a great cut flower!
