They're Tagetes (French Marigolds) but there are so many varieties for sale these days that I'm afraid I don't know the specific name. You could try growing them from seed if you collected some when they go over - they might not 'come true', but it's worth a go.

They look like 'naughty marietta' variety. They are looking good - will die off when the first frost happens, so collect the seeds and dry them off and germinate in spring.

Hey Kildermorie, Naughty Marietta sounds like someone I once knew, haha. On a seriouse note Rose, I think that picture is Tagetes tenuifolia - Lemon Gem.

Hope this helps
