The “theme” this month is FLOWERS.  We are to use flowers on our project, but we are also to tell about our favorite flowers.  I am a wildflower kind of girl…don’t get me wrong, roses are beautiful, and if someone wants to send them to me, I’ll be more than willing to take them- but my favorite flowers are flowers that can be found growing along the roadside or in the woods- daisies, tiger lilies, and my all-time favorite flower- the Black-Eyed Susan. 

Black-Eyed Susan
Rudbeckia hirta

Maryland designated the Black-Eyed Susan as the official state flower in 1918. It is a daisy-like wildflower with yellow petals and a dark brown center that grows in dry places. A member of the sunflower family and native to the United States east of the Rocky Mountains, Black-Eyed Susans are common in Maryland fields and roadsides.

OK, now it’s time for me to show you my card…I am using Effie Trinket #2 from The Hunger Games. I had so much fun using the first Effie Trinket image that I just couldn’t wait to start coloring this new one!  I hope you like it!!

Your next stop is Angela’s blog.  Remember, to leave comments all along the way- YOU might be a winner!!!
