Friday Fabulous Flower - a late summer SYC
LBJs - little brown jobs, the classic tough to ID bird. The Botanical version is an SYC - stinking, yellow composite. Actually they aren't as tough to ID as some people make out, but there are a lot of them. This particular SYC is part of Ms. Phactor's perennial bed, a mixture of native species and cultivars. This is probably a selection from a native species. This is Rudbeckia subtomentosa, one of several species that share the common name Black-eyed Susan. Generally these all bloom in the late summer and they are pretty colorful. The disk flowers making up the button are purple-brown and the ray flowers are bright yellow. This particular species will grow to 2 m making a rather large clump. The stems are leafy and the leaves below are three-parted.
