One of the Susans...

 

I have been looking trying to figure out whether this is a Black-eyed Susan or a Brown-eye Susan and so far having no luck. I had thought maybe they were different names for the same plant but when you look at their Latin names, Rudbeckia hirta is the Black-eyed Susan. Rudbeckia triloba is the Brown-eyed Susan. I am thinking this is the former, because of the size.

  1. Good grief, Inever heard of Brown-Eyed Susans!! Wish I could see the two together. There are tons of them around here, whichever they are!

  5. I Echo Jenny's good grief! Because I did not know there was a difference between brown eyed and black eyed I thought they were all black eyed Susans. Next thing we know there'll be blue eyed Susans and green eyed Susans

  7. That's the prettiest photo of the black-eyed Susan I've ever seen. I've always liked this flower. It's cheerful and reminds me of Summer.

    Have a sweet day, Rose.

  16. My wife is Scandinavian, so she would probably plant blue-eyed susans. It might be a difference only a botanist could appreciate. I wonder whether they cross pollinate.

  17. A lovely image. I don't think that I have ever seen a Brown Eyed Susan. In any case, this is a beautiful flower. I have a bunch of Black Eyes Susans in my yard and this one looks like them.
