black-eyed Susans

Yellow prairie wildflowers

Black-eyed Susans are wildflowers with yellow petals surrounding a dark brown or black center, native to North America.

They bloom in summer and fall, growing in fields and along roadsides: The meadow was full of black-eyed Susans.

The name comes from the flower's resemblance to an eye with a dark pupil.
