Maryland: Black-Eyed Susan


Black-eyed Susan flowers are among the most cherished state flowers. They have colorful yellow-gold single petals that are often two to four inches across, and encircling their large black centers. The ligules of the Black-eyed Susan are about 1.5 inch long. The involucral bracts are sometimes very elongated, and have long, stiff hairs. Black-eyed Susans flowers are also called as Gloriosa Daisy, owing to their yellow, orange, and gold colors.
