The larger pink/purple flowers are Wild Bergamot. The Black-eyed Susan without the black eye is a type of wild sunflower.<BR/>It is interesting to see the spread of some of the wildflowers in the meadow. Several years ago Mary Gartshore donated a lot of wildflower seed - especially Black-eyed Susan and Bergamot. I cast it in a number of spots and was greatly disappointed when it didn't come up in the ensuing Summers. And then last year the Bergamot made an appearance in good quantity followed by the Black-eyed Susan this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
