Favorite of favorites...

We have a few Black Eyed Susans "volunteering" around our yard and lots further out in part of the woods. This one got broken and had to be "picked". Black Eyed Susans here are often varied in their petal color and design. This one has to be my favorite of favorites, with the dark color at the base of the petals.
