Re: Rudbeckia
Hi Dean,
Thanks for the info. I guess this is a good case in point that info
provided, whether on tags or in books, is not necessarily correct.
My Rudbeckia has some green buds on it right now. Hopefully it will take
several days for this to develop or that the flowers will last for
several days. I'm going to be out of town for 5 - 6 days. Would hate to
miss seeing what happens with it. Will update after the blooms arrive.
