Rudbeckia hirta


OK, so I am being a smart aleck here.  I went to look on Wikipedia to see if black-eyed Susan was hyphenated, and that's where I saw the latin name for the flower.  I am always looking for blind headlines which means that you can't tell what the story is about by reading the headline.  I think.  Anyhow,  I have driven by these flowers and this fence  a number of times recently.  It is on the way to the recycling center.  Today I stopped to photograph the scene.  I think I want to add these to our small front garden.  They really are pretty, and they would brighten up the present garden.  I think it helps that the fence is ivory colored, and not bright white, which softens the contrast.

  1. Very pretty and they spread quickly. You could have dug some from Seaside but too late now!

  2. Whoops! I should worry about them spreading... Maybe not a good idea.
