Susans Last Hurrah is below... there are 4 more buds but the sun is not on them 8 hours a day, they will not bloom.

This is the last Susan Hurrah, Final Flower Bloom

Can you see the different in the flower? New PM let's me paint it with light, with Dodge brush. The photo was under exposed.. And sharpen only the flower petals, not the whole photo. Can you see the change in the flower?

Black-eyed Susans August 12, 2018

Almost Wordless Wednesday…. The Sunshine made me do it... They were Glowing at 3 pm.

Why, yes, my world does revolve around black-eyed Susans. You are all my sunshine, I am hot for you. We are Walken On Sunshine

Five Six Seven Susans

Susan Five

Susan Five, Six and Seven on the day before they opened... the same but different.. We now have 7 blooming Susan's in my wildflower planter..

In the case of my blooming black eyed Susan's, it did not go from Bud to worse... it was not a bud hair day.. Soon they would be gone bud not forgotten... these buds were last bud not forgotten, some buddy was madly snapping photos to document their blooms.

Anybuddy getting tires of my Susan's? 

Ok, so I need to soft-pedal the flower power, right???

Flower Friday with Susan Rudbeckia

Susan  the black-eyed susan, bloomed just in time for Flower Friday and for the last two posts. done for now.

Be like a black-eye susan sunflower, on the darkest days, stand tall and find the sunlight. Remember, where ever you go, always bring your own sunshine. If you keep your face to the sunshine, you cannot see the shadows...

Susan Rudbeckia.. wannabe sunflower

July 24, the Black-eyed Susan fully opened... prepare for overload of MADsnapping gone beserk.

Since I have named our lizards and frogs, this flower is now known as Susan Rudbeckia… alas, she is not long for this world, BUT she has siblings that are now  best buds. heh heh heh

Keep in mind, this flower is only about 12 inches tall and is about 1 and 1/2 inch wide. I had the lens 2 inches from the flower.... GONE TO TOPS meeting today, might be late visiting

Aloe, If this were a cactus, I could give you succulent puns. You know, something like you are looking sharp!  I think you are awesome to the coreopsis...
