The Many Faces of Susan

Here come the Black Eyed Susans ( Rudbeckia hirta ) 
The genus named by Linnaeus for his old teacher Olaf Rudbeck. The species name means hairy, notice the hairy stems and leaves.
This annual, sometimes perennial, wildflower is just coming into blooming the circle.

All from seed & now the open pollinated offspring of the original packet Rudbeckia hirta displays it's 

genetic diversity. The multi-petalled flower seem to be on the same plant as the others!
