Black-eyed Susan

Rudbeckia hirta.  Yup.  Another member of the aster family.  We actually have asters here but they're not blooming yet.  Wait for fall.

Also commonly called the Brown-eyed Susan they are found all over the place.  In the native planting, along the trails and acatter in the more open tree plantations.

The local goldfinches are crazy for the seeds.

And my brown-eyed girls sometimes like to stop and smell the flowers...
