Film; standard Ilford B&W (forgot which one).
No edit straight out of the camera.
I envy my Flickr friends who can render such poetics from their gardens. My garden / flower photos all look like they are from a Burpee seed catalog.
I think I have to give credit to my camera for this shot.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Zinnias are undemanding annuals that simply need full sun, warmth, and well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
Zinnias are named after Johann Gottfried Zinn (1727-1759), a German professor of botany who grew the plant after it was "discovered" in the New World and brought back to Europe. Zinnias are native to Mexico, Central America, and the southwestern United States . ( from www.Burpee..com)

Visited Rockford, Illinois to check out their museums. They have Art, Discovery Center, Burpee Museum of Natural History and more. They were neat and worth a visit.
These pix are from an amazing room in the Burpee Museum of Natural History. One room filled with Triceratops and Relatives. As good as anything you'd find in Smithsonian.

One of the many wonderful gardens of New Orleans. I keep going back to visit because of the great diversity of flowers. They are well cared for. In the above image is seen the beauty of a Cosmos.

Taken in our garden earlier this summer and tweaked a little by me!
Rudbeckia hirta, commonly called black-eyed-susan, is a North American species of flowering plants in the sunflower family, native to the Eastern and Central North America and naturalized in the Western part of the continent as well as in China. It has now been found in all 10 Canadian Provinces and all 48 of the states in the contiguous United States.
Rudbeckia hirta is one of a number of plants with the common name black-eyed susan. Other common names for this plant include: brown-eyed susan, brown betty, gloriosa daisy, golden Jerusalem, English bull's eye, poor-land daisy, yellow daisy, and yellow ox-eye daisy.Rudbeckia hirta is the state flower of Maryland.
The plant also is a traditional Native American medicinal herb in several tribal nations; believed in those cultures to be a remedy, among other things, for colds, flu, infection, swelling and (topically, by poultice) for snake bite (although not all parts of the plant are edible). Parts of the plant have nutritional value. Other parts are not edible.
Rudbeckia hirta is an upright annual (sometimes biennial or perennial) growing 30–100 cm (12–39 in) tall by 30–45 cm (12–18 in) wide. It has alternate, mostly basal leaves 10–18 cm long, covered by coarse hair, with stout branching stems and daisy-like, composite flower heads appearing in late summer and early autumn. In the species, the flowers are up to 10 cm (4 in) in diameter, with yellow ray florets circling conspicuous brown or black, dome-shaped cone of many small disc florets. However, extensive breeding has produced a range of sizes and colours, including oranges, reds and browns.
Etymology
The genus name honors Olaus Rudbeck, who was a professor of botany at the University of Uppsala in Sweden and was one of Linnaeus's teachers. The specific epithet refers to the trichomes (hairs) occurring on leaves and stems.
Varieties
There are four varieties -
Rudbeckia hirta var. angustifolia - southeastern + south-central United States (South Carolina to Texas)
Rudbeckia hirta var. floridana - Florida
Rudbeckia hirta var. hirta - Eastern United States (Maine to Alabama).
Rudbeckia hirta var. pulcherrima. Widespread in most of North America (Newfoundland to British Columbia, south to Alabama and New Mexico; naturalized Washington to California).
Cultivation
Rudbeckia hirta is widely cultivated in parks and gardens, for summer bedding schemes, borders, containers, wildflower gardens, prairie-style plantings and cut flowers. Numerous cultivars have been developed, of which 'Indian Summer' and 'Toto' have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Other popular cultivars include 'Double Gold' and 'Marmalade'.
Gloriosa daisies are tetraploid cultivars having much larger flower heads than the wild species, often doubled or with contrasting markings on the ray florets. They were first bred by Alfred Blakeslee of Smith College by applying colchicine to R. hirta seeds; Blakeslee's stock was further developed by W. Atlee Burpee and introduced to commerce at the 1957 Philadelphia Flower Show. Gloriosa daisies are generally treated as annuals or short-lived perennials and are typically grown from seed, though there are some named cultivars.
