Well, that’s what I think they are, but I didn’t plant them. And it was way too early to knock at the cottage door to enquire.
They grow in such a splendid jumble that it can be hard to get just one in the frame.

Come and learn, I could be your guide and we can visit numerous #Indigenous communities #together to learn from each otherA good reminder to breathe. (It's so much more satisfying than yelling.)
Astonishing profusion of spotted orchids and ragged robin in this wet pasture at Ballyteige, Glen Hest today. The woods here are thronged with blackcaps, and the bogs nearby (west of Beltra Lough) teem with passerines: stonechat, wheatear, meadow pipit, skylark, reed bunting.

Nice !
Ralph – Thanks!
Question: why are they called “black-eyed” when your photos clearly show that they are brown-eyed?

Jim – Well, Wiki says this: Rudbeckia hirta is one of a number of plants with the common name black-eyed Susan. Other common names for this plant include: brown-eyed Susan, brown betty, gloriosa daisy, golden Jerusalem, English bull’s eye, poor-land daisy, yellow daisy, and yellow ox-eye daisy. So there appears to have been “extensive breeding” that has affected the colour of the petals and the centre, and no one bothered to standardize the name change.
Nicely exposed and composed
Thanks, Jim.
