Stopped at Lake Como for lunch and walked down a trail filled with Black-Eyed Susans. Did a little research and discovered that they are Biennials, living only two years. They are also Pioneer Plants, some of the first to grow back after a fire. The yellow of the Black-Eyed Susan is like no other and contrast beautifully to the bright ray florets at the center. It's a wildflower that cheers me up just to look at it. It's the State Flower of Maryland and my 200th photograph in the BlackBerry 365 Series.
Here are a couple of links to learn more about the Black-Eyed Susan:
