Rudbeckia - Black-Eyed Susans, from bud to bloom
buds opening
black-eyed Susans buds and 1 blooming
many stages of blooming
fat, top hat shaped seed head,
once dried I can harvest for reseeding,
if the birds don't beat me to it
sunny faces reaching for the sky
What is blooming by you this week?
Until next time,
Faythe
I have never heard of this before, when I saw the title my first reaction was poor Susan LOL
ReplyDeleteLooks nice fully bloomed :-)
Have a bloomingtastic week & thanks for sprouting by :-)
We think Susan is quite lovely!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I can't think of anything that's budding this week. The trees are starting to turn though.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day Faythe. Big hugs. ♥♥♥
Ooooh I love your Black Eyes Susans, I could tell stories about them with my daughter when she was a teen. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI love black Eyed Susans. My Dad had them when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning. #ww
ReplyDeleteThose Black-Eyed Susans are pretty. I love the last picture. I've got pink and purple morning glories that are in bloom. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Flowers. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThey're pretty. Because we have been having a little cooler than normal weather, I have a few roses that started to bloom.
ReplyDeleteI do not have any luck growing roses, so I would love to have some blooming!

Yours look good. Mine bloomed and died some time ago.

That's the second time I've seen them today, and today was the first time I'd heard of them. Isn't that the way that happens? They are just lovely.
ReplyDeleteThey are a pretty common flower around my parts (WI) and look nice blooming with other fall type flowers.
DeleteBlack eyed Susans have long been one of my favorites. I've never seen the top-hat shaped center, though.
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
The only thing that's blooming by me is weeds! My veggie garden is just about done, and I'm getting ready to tear it down :( All my fresh veggies gone! I had sliced tomato with my dinner with some celery salt on it and mmmmm sooooo tasty! No more zucchini, but I do have one left in the fridge, and I'm going to make some zucchini bread... my first try! Wish me luck! Hey girlfriend, do you have a good recipe I can follow???
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Faythe. Pity they don't grow over here on our side of the pond,
ReplyDeleteI'd send you some seeds if they did!
DeleteRudbeckia is one of my all time favorite flowers and I added way more to my yard this year. They are almost done now.
ReplyDeleteI think black-eyed Susans are glorious!
ReplyDeletePretty progression! How interesting, I've never seen a seed head that big on the black-eyed susans outside my office.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the big Top Hat on some of my black-eyed Susans for a couple years. makes it nice if you are trying to harvest to share or add more planting areas. Plus the birds love them.
DeleteThey are very cheery flowers and bloom a long time which I like.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy there long life & sunny faces too!
