"Opening Day"
Black-eyed Susans (Rudbeckia hirta) are a favorite garden flower, and are a native wildflower in Michigan. Our yard and gardens are not large, but I like to plant native species of flowers like Black-eyed Susans. I let them go to seed in the fall, and I don't remove the dead stalks until the spring, giving birds the opportunity to eat the seeds.
I called this "Opening Day" because the flower has just opened, and the petals are not fully unfurled yet.
