I believe it is a type of zinnia. Probably a Zinnia augustifolia by the look of the leaf in the picture. Another option would be a type of Dahlia. Both of these genus are in the Asteraceae family and have similar characteristics. A view of the plant and the leaves would help me make a better identification.
