Wild flowers: Rudbeckia and rumex

I've talked about the wildflowers along my daily bicycle commute before. Well, right now they are putting on quite a show again. Black eyed susan (Rudbeckia fulgida I think. I'm never sure on rudbeckia species) and behind it the weed, curly dock (Rumex crispus) with a few unidentified grasses mixed in.
 I would never think of letting dock in my garden, but I have to say the brown of the dried seed heads forms an amazing back drop for the rudbeckia flowers. Once again, nature proves to have very sophisticated tastes in design.

    That is pretty! I love black eyed susans! Very bright and always puts a smile on my face.

    That's the kind of plant I always admire when I visit the prairie. No way would I allow it at home in my little garden.

    Meems -- Yes, they are bright and cheery. I love seeing them every morning. But I agree with you, Mrs. MD: Not in my garden! Not enough room at the moment. Maybe someday when I have acres and acres...
