Description
Rudbeckia hirta, the state flower of Maryland, is commonly called black-eyed Susan. It is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to the Eastern and Central United States and 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, Poorland daisy, yellow daisy, and yellow ox-eye daisy.
Although most parts are not edible, the plant also is a traditional Native American medicinal herb in several tribal nations. It is believed to be a remedy for colds, flu, infection, swelling and snake bite.
Black-eyed Susan is an upright annual, biennial or perennial with alternate, mostly basal leaves covered by coarse hair, with stout branching stems and daisy-like, composite flowers appearing in late summer and early autumn. In the species, the flowers are up to 4 inches in diameter, with yellow ray-florets circling conspicuous brown or black, dome-shaped disc-florets. Extensive breeding has produced a range of sizes and colors, including oranges, reds and browns.
Some digital effects have been added to the original photograph after the image was made. No electrons were harmed during this transition...
