Simply a park in Niort, colors that attract my glance in the green, two beautiful flowers Rudebekias, although we have small frozen morning, the weather remains mild.
Rudbeckia is one of at least four genera within the flowering plant family Asteraceae whose members are commonly known as coneflowers; the others are Echinacea, Dracopis and Ratibida.
They are herbaceous, mostly perennial plants (some annual or biennial) growing to 0.5-3 m tall, with simple or branched stems. The leaves are spirally arranged, entire to deeply lobed, 5-25 cm long. The flowers are produced in daisy-like inflorescences, with yellow or orange florets arranged in a prominent, cone-shaped head; "cone-shaped" because the ray florets tend to point out and down (are decumbent) as the flower head opens.
A large number of species have been proposed within Rudbeckia, but most are now regarded as synonyms of the limited list given below. Several of these currently accepted species have several accepted varieties. Some of them (for example the Black-eyed Susan, R. hirta), are popular garden flowers, distinguished for their long flowering times. There are many cultivars of these species.
Rudbeckia species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Cabbage Moth and Dot Moth.
The name was given by Carolus Linneaus in honor of his teacher at Uppsala University, Professor Olof Rudbeck the Younger (1660-1740), and his father, Professor Olof Rudbeck the Elder (1630-1702), both of whom were botanists. |

Very pretty image showing the Rudbeckia flowers Corinne. The butterflies love them.
I think your flowers could be a bit sharper, but the colours certainly show up.
I like how your frame and how you have placed the tiny flower piece out of it.
Well done
Janice
Bonjour Corinne
Jolies couleurs de fin d'été. Ces rudbekias sont d'une grande beauté et pleines de promesses avec les boutons floraux. Les teintes sont superbes et l'arrière plan neutre est parfait. Ici, les fleurs une fois séchées sont du gâteau pour les oiseaux. Les chardonnerets en rafollent en hiver et viennent se percher sur les tiges fragiles qui souvent restent accessibles malgré la neige.
Bravo
Serge
je mettrai 2 points de plus car je trouve que cette photo est bien belle et mérite plus que 4 points.
