Black-Eyed Susans

The roadsides through Dallas County are vibrant with Black-Eyed Susans

 and a smattering of blue wildflowers. Thank you, God, for colorful October!

 of flowers on Summerfield Road.

Flower Garden at the Mill House

Black-eyed susans bloom in profusion at the Kenan's Mill mill house. The miller once lived here, but it is now rented for meetings, receptions and reunions and owned by the Selma-Dallas County Historic Preservation Society.

As the goldenrod fades, black-eyed Susans still decorate the roadsides with brilliant golds.

From the Butterfly Garden

Black-eyed Susans reach for the sky at the Mallieve Breeding Butterfly Garden at the School of Discovery. These easy-to-grow Gloriosa daisies like full sun and most any kind of soil. I hope they like heat as well, because temperatures this week are in the mid-90s Fahrenheit.
