These are from my own seeds. I find variation in size, shape and colour distribution.
Which one in your opinion is worth further propagation?

Sir, Rudbeckia has been one of my mosssssst longed plant, i have been trying it from seeds from Thompson and Morgan since almost one year, but seeing the flower, i am little bit disappointed....they seem like when flower has finished blooming and is about to wither. Last one(all yellow) is comparatively better in my opinion. Sorry for negative comment :-)

Could it be that you have taken the snap of an aged flower????????


I think the Sweet william is Norvena Clown cultivar, as the flower changes color with age. Multiple colors on one stalk
