Yes, these are black eyed susans, but the center is really brown. We have lots of them in the south. They are beautiful. I have some in my back yard...not sure where I too these. There is a story about how they got their name. Who was Black Eyed Susan? Her story is a romantic tale of wildflowers. And her name graces our popluar wildflower species. legend says it all it all come from an Old Englis Poem by John Gay, 1685-1732. The poem tells one of the "Legends of Love" in our wildflowers. If youseed wild Sweet William(Dianthus Barbitus) with common Black-Eyed Susan(Rudbeckia hirta), they will bloom beautifully for you at the same time. Because both are basically biennials, and her gold plus his bright reds and purples blooming together is a sight to gladden any gardener�s heart. I will let you look up the rest of the story and poem, Black-Eyed Susans are common in all 50 states and across Canada and probably across the continent from the beginning.
