Asteraceae Family - "Orange Coneflower"
Rudbeckia named after Olof Rudbeck the elder (1630 - 1702) and the younger (1660 - 1740). Fulgida comes from the latin word for "shining", probably referring to the orange color highlighting the ray bases.
Orange Coneflower is very similar to R. hirta (Black-eyed Susan) but bases of the rays are colored orange. Grows from 1 - 3 feet tall and blooms from August to October.
No medicinal or food uses reported.
