Rudbekia...

So here is a Redbekia without the bumble bee .. they are such a vibrant happy flower I thought he deserved centre front stage all to himself .. I have grown them before but not for several years and I am just loving them this year .. The gardens are loving the tree mulch I have put down on all the beds so it was really worth the effort ..

Almost as good as a sunflower - even better as you don't have to get up on a stepladder!

@haskar oh really.. never heard of it .. think I would need a few more plants to keep tbe bees busy in production..

[Pat Knowles]

Your skill at growing them hasn’t diminished then.....I have heard of them but I have never grown any....what am I talking about I feel ashamed to say I don’t grow any flowers....not a keen gardener but I love a tidy natural garden with trees & shrubs & no work!
