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.
