Two very special states. Two very special state flowers.

In the foreground, Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) blooming for the second time which pleases me greatly. Planted them last year and now they’re back again. Maryland state flower since 1918.

In the background, Yucca (Yucca filamentosa) has been blooming every year for many many years in this spot. New Mexico became a state in 1912 and in 1927 the Yucca became the state flower.

For sure, two very special states and two very special state flowers.
