Rudbeckia

They're going to start scrolling now.

Marsh Marigold, Foxglove, Black Eyed Susans.

I thought Foxglove was invasive.

Not some of it.

So what else has been happening?

So, talking flowers, I think more should be said about rudbeckia.

Is that how you pronounce it? Rudbeckia.

Rudbeckia.

I don't know what rudbeckia is.

They're flowers.

All right, enough about that.

Black-eyed Susan, Udubeckia.

That's another one.

Great big flower.

It will keep blooming like nonstop.

It's always got more flowers coming up.

But I like this one because the butterflies love Black-eyed Susan.

and so do the birds.

Butterflies, the Monarch Butterflies, well, thank you for it.

And then Summer to Fall, Black-Eyed Susans, Coneflower, as in the purple Echinacea purpurea, Monarda Spotted Bee Balm, Purple Anise Hyssop, Goldenrod, and New York Aster, which is a Connecticut native, believe it or not.

Yeah, that sounds like an impressive list.

So where can people get these? There's some nurseries in Connecticut that sell things like this?

They're fading.

There's just a few little pollinators getting the last bits they can, but most of them are actually finding other plants that are blooming like the Black-Eyed Susans and the Echinacea.

Some of those are still in their fullness.

But yeah, again, we're past the peak, past the prime.

Right.

Rudbeckia, Rudbeckia is day and night difference.

They bloom earlier, they bloom taller, there's more blooms.

But some plants have just proven, as we've already talked about, strawflowers and Lizzy just didn't pl- pan out that way.

Okay.

And then Black-Eyed Susans, I know you have a love-hate relationship with them.

Many people do.

No,
