Almost!

I was raised in Maryland. A state I love. And I love the state flower, designated as the state flower way back in 1918. Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta). I purchased some to plant in my garden at the Greene County Farmers Market last year. This (above) was then.

This is now. A little ways to go but well on its way to making me quite proud to have some of Maryland’s state flower blooming in my yard.

    1. Diane! Glad you like the pictures. When I was in school, I felt that my pictures (photos or paintings) were my best way of communicating. Don’t know too many state flowers, just states that are very special to me. Also, Virginia is Flowering Dogwood, and New Mexico is Yucca (perhaps my favorite state!)

      Thanks bunches for reading my posts!
