Well, OK, this page (http://www.nwspiders.org/araneus.diadematus.html) refers to A. diadematus as a "European garden spider", though in fact they live in North America too. Based on those pictures I'd say I've pretty definitely got a female Araneus diadematus here, though it's a slightly different color variant.
