Wildflower Wednesday

This week's Wildflower Wednesday's feature flower is the Black Eyed Susan.

Did you know Black Eyed Susans are the plant host of the Silvery Checkerspot butterfly caterpillar. (seen in picture #1)

They are pioneer plants, which means they are one of the first plants to grow after a fire or other natural disaster.

In the floral world they represent encouragement, so if you know someone going through a hard time, gift them a bouquet of these cheerful flowers!
