Yep, here they are!!!!  My Black eyed Susies are blooming!!  Aren't they cheerful?  I love them!!!!!

 

And see all that green growing around them?  They're not weeds!!  They are more Black eyed Susies!!!!!  They might take over the entire garden!!  Nah, I'll dig them out, put them in 4" pots and sell them.  I'll be a millionaire!!!!  Maybe I'll just give them to my favorite neighbors for beauty in their gardens.

 

Botanical name is:  Rudbeckia hirta.  Native to our Carolina countryside, you can see Black eyed Susies all along the roadsides, hillsides, and right here in our neighborhood.  They will bloom now til August.

 

How could anybody call THIS a weed?  Technically, a weed is a plant growing out of place.  So that colony to the left is actually a weed patch, cause I didn't plant them there.  But they are a blessing in my garden, and I'm going to let them grow. 

 

So, if you have a sunny spot that needs cheering up, we have plenty of Black eyed Susies, and I'll be happy to share.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!!
