Hens and Chicks, and old fashioned garden succulent that is perennial in Maine with Mother Of Thyme, creeping Thyme plants in pink flower, PHIppsburg, Maine coastal garden. My grandmother had these Hens And Chicks growing around the steps to her kitchen door. I have a sentimental attachment to them. These very plants are clones of ones from her yard many years ago. The Thyme is my adaptation in my garden.
There are two types of Black Eyed or Brown Eyed Susans in Maine. This is rudbeckia fulgida. It has glossy leaves. The other is rudbeckia hirta named its hairy leaves. The latter is more of a self seeding, biennial than the fulgida which is truly perennial here in agricultural zone 5, coastal Maine , For a list of protected and endangered wildflowers in Maine see http://plants.usda.gov/java/threat Wildflowers should be left undisturbed where they are found. To uproot and attempt to transplant them puts the species at risk. Wildflowers are dependent on very specific soil, water and light requirements which a home gardener can rarely reproduce.
