Description

I went to the Louisville, Colorado City Hall to pick up some photographs I had on display there and discovered these amazing beauties out front. This version of this photograph has been digitally altered to create this lovely painterly effect. Most commonly called Black-Eyed Susans, I researched them on Wikipedia and found the following information:

"Rudbeckia hirta, commonly called black-eyed Susan, is a North American flowering plant in the sunflower family, native to 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.[2][3][4]

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,[5][6] English bull's eye, poor-land daisy, yellow daisy, and yellow ox-eye daisy.[7]

Rudbeckia hirta is the state flower of Maryland.[8]

The plant also is a traditional Native American medicinal herb in several tribal nations;[9] 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)[9]

Parts of the plant have nutritional value. Other parts are not edible."
