Black-Eyed Susan



Rudbeckia hirta - Black-eyed Susan - a member of the aster family.  Sometimes called the Brown-eyed Susan it is a native perennial that is now found just about everywhere from fields to yard gardens.  

Finches value the seeds they produce but I value their blooming this time of year.  With the official arrival of summer these plentiful yellow flowers are adding more color and variety to the prairie planting.  

Furthermore, my brown-eyed, four-legged girls also like to stop and take moment to smell the flowers.
