Browneyed Susan

Traded 'Herbstonne' for it May 2001.

It looks so airy. I think it will make a good contrast where it's at. We'll see.

Rudbeckia maxima

I was supposed to have received Rudbeckia maxima in a trade this spring (May 2001) but the leaves look NOTHING like what all the photos have show so I guess I'll have to wait until it blooms to be sure what it is.

You can check out a photo of this beautiful Rudbeckia here.
