Description
I do love flowers! But unfortunately the only thing "flowery" I inherited from my mother was her early ability to kill them; her later ability to grow just about anything has yet to manifest itself -- I can still kill plants with a glance. (wink) Well, that's not quite true -- I had a houseplant once that I kept alive for almost two years. Of course, it may or may not have been plastic...
So these days I leave the gardening to my husband (who is very good at it) and settle for taking pictures (while trying not to look at the plants lest I kill them with my deadly gaze.) There's a wonderful garden next to my doctor's office, full of black-eyed susans and phlox, and I had a lot of fun the other day taking photos in it.
I think this will make a beautiful spread to brighten up your bedroom, or a tapestry for any room in your house. And it's available on a wide range of other merchandise as well – enjoy!
According to Wikipedia:
“Rudbeckia hirta, commonly called black-eyed Susan, is a North American flowering plant in the sunflower family, native to Eastern and Central North America and naturalized in the Western part of the continent as well as in China. It has now been found in all 10 Canadian Provinces and all 48 of the states in the contiguous United States.
“Rudbeckia hirta is one of a number of plants with the common name black-eyed Susan. Other common names for this plant include: brown-eyed Susan, brown betty, gloriosa daisy, golden Jerusalem, English bull's eye, poor-land daisy, yellow daisy, and yellow ox-eye daisy.
“Rudbeckia hirta is the state flower of Maryland.
“The plant also is a traditional Native American medicinal herb in several tribal nations; believed in those cultures to be a remedy, among other things, for colds, flu, infection, swelling and (topically, by poultice) for snake bite (although not all parts of the plant are edible).”
