How to Make Diamonds!

Brown-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia triloba)

Very beautiful progression banner. It's a gem, alright.

Excellent banner Moggs!

Rudbeckia triloba - I was delighted to see one of my favourite blossoms up as a banner today.
There are a wealth of these tiny blossoms from August through till now. They are biennial, so encourage self seeding, and you'll have some every year. In my area they seem relatively unknown. Delight your friends by giving them seeds and beginning plants in spring or fall.

Those last 2 pics do look like chocolate diamonds.

Beautifully thought out and constructed. Educational, too.

Thank all of you for the kind compliments and the acorns were unexpected.
Nora, I love all rudbeckias because they do so well here in Georgia, I had no idea that they grew up there in Canada as well! I'm so glad you can also enjoy them. One of mine got to 6 feet, the others were varying heights depending on how much the deer browsed them, but they still bloomed.
Slowcala, I'm delighted you noticed the 4th picture, I was disappointed that it got cut off on the banner on my computer. That is the picture that inspired the banner in the first place! I'm still learning how to space things for banners.

with all the above posts. This is wonderful banner!
I saw the full banner on my desktop and it is excellent
