Black-Eyed Susans


The black-eyed susans have taken over the Prairie Maze. They are about thigh tall and when you walk into the Maze they spread out in a sea before you. The whole Maze smells like summer, warm and clover and sweet. There are lots of other plants in the Maze (I should know, I just looked up the scientific name for 37 of them and that's not all there is). But you have to look to see them beyond the initial impact of the black-eyed susans. When the little kids run through, the plants are already up to their arms. It may be a while before adults get lost, but the kids are already having fun trying to figure out the Maze.
