A few random pics from today.
Rudbeckia nitida is just crawling with bumbles.
A few cone pics today.
Henry Eiler's rudbeckia at it's max display.
Echinacea tennessenesis(sp) "Rocky Top', dog broke off the top of it this spring and I had to wait for it to regrow from the roots - it did.
Feel free to add your new pics or any pics.
Nice pictures, al. I especially love the rt! Anything that manages to look so lovely after dog damage has to be great...My two babies love to lie down on my hosta as they are emerging in the spring. Ah, what are a few trampled leaves where my pooches are concerned:-))

Great coneflowers Al. You must be one superior coneflower grower LOL. I love the second pic....those flowers look really interesting.
That 'Henry Eiler's rudbeckia' is to die for. : )
All of them look super good, BCA. You grow them beautifully.

All just gorgeous! Where did you get Henry Eiler? I think we all want him.
I agree the Henry Eiler's is awesome. Such interesting flowers. Great pics.

Although I did see Henry local now, Plant Delights and WFF have it I know.
Al your HE is wonderful. Although I do favor the fat petaled ones this one looks good, airy and strong as a plant. Makes a nice contrast with the others without over powering them. Thanks for showing us, it is always good to have feedback from a gardener so we don't have to rely only on the catalogs glam pics.
WHAT'S the difference between rudbeckia and echinea? I'm starting to be able to tell the coneflowers apart from each other. But now all these rudbeckias are mixed in??
