Hi Everyone!

Wanted to share my Rudbeckia hirta "Irish Eyes". It's my first time to grow it this year and I started the plants from seed in late winter. Didn't know quite what to expect when it bloomed, but I am very pleased. These are my first blooms as of today. I like it so much that I am going to do my best to keep it established in the garden.

I don't know if this particular variety could be considered a true TX native, so I post it based on the fact that most of the genus Rudbeckia IS native to TX, and I thought that y'all would want to see the blooms, anyway. ;-))
