The Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) has been the official Maryland flower since 1918 when it was designated the "Floral Emblem" of Maryland by the General Assembly. Black-Eyed Susans are perennial daisies or coneflowers, members of the sunflower family (Asteraceae). The flower heads measure 2 to 3 inches in diameter with yellow rays circling a dark-brown, spherical center. Commonly found in fields and on roadsides, they bloom between May and August, reaching 2 to 3 feet in height. They are native to the United States, east of the Rocky Mountains.

Yes, I have them growing on my balcony. These, together with Morning Glory, are my very favourite flowers. This is a terrific take on them Cindy, including such a delicate bloom in such a grandiose landscape is a great idea. Your DOF is just perfect, I reckon this is one of your best so far.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

I do not photo shop any of my photos. The odd one may be slightly cropped!!! They are as I have taken them. NO touching up!!!

I love the colors and the clarity on this one. Very nicely done! That goes in my favorites.

p.s. Take look at my latest pics and let me know what you think if you have a chance. If not, don't worry about it. Have a great day!

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see? ~Alice; Alice in Wonderland
