You are further east so you are getting our rain today. Very hot humid weather today. 🤦‍♀️😒

It was sunny and humid all day untill about 7 tonight and it poured as hard as it could for about 40 minutes😃it watered the garden and filled my rain barrel👍

#black-eyed-susan #almostthere

Looking good Thelma. Mine is a week behind yours. 🌼🌼💛🤎

Love these so bright and sunny💛makes me smile🤗😃😍 @hkyfvr

They are lovely flowers. They last so long too. Won’t be long till we see lots of these. 🌼🌼🌼💛🤎

Soon to bloom #blackeyedsusan 😍💛

That is great Thelma. Think mine are just about there. Is it me or are they a bit early this year ? Mine are so much taller as well. Do you find yours are too ? 💕

Yes😍they seem to be earlier this year..maybe the hot weather is helping them bloom earlier🤗they might be a little over 12" tall too👍 @hkyfvr

I thought so. I think mine have to be taller than that. Maybe 18inches. Will have to measure as I am curious. 💚💚

Wow, that's how tall my coneflowers must be, they are real tall👍 @hkyfvr

I measured them Thelma. My rudbeckia is 31 inches tall and my coneflower is 24 inches. The coneflower is one year old and the rudbeckia we have had for several years. It has never grown so tall before. Wow. 🌟🌟

🌟 W💛W 🌟 is right, amazing😃makes me want to go measure mine now🤪but it's raining and dark already🙈 tomorrow's another day @hkyfvr

I was just curious as mine had grown so tall. Had the impulse to measure them. 🤣🤣
