I haven't seen too many butterflies nectaring on my Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia ) yet, but I get tons of bees and other critters! And something is eating the leaves! Any cats we know of that use this plant as a host?

I lucked out with all the seeds I got in trades of Rudbeckia. I managed to get a nice assortment. Today I found a mutant plant. This plant has 3 buds/flowers and they all have something weird going on with them. Here's a photo of the oddest one. It has some weird growth coming right out of the middle of the bloom! LOL!
