Thanks for sharing them Wren; they are indeed quite beautiful! Therefore I will have to plant some in my gardens next year. I have certain areas in front and back where gound cover along boarders are needed. I read that 'Rudbeckia fulgida' is winter proof in USDA Zones 3 to 9; so I'll buy that type....

Charles, when I click on the image it takes me to the 8upload site. Something not quite right.

Chiffy one meter away through a dirty window and screen! Her or she then flew directly at me and tried to land on the screen but I then dropped my phone!
